A contemporary academic.. "I write this down because these happenings should not go unrecorded. In these pages I will expose probably the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the world.

She is speaking again, asking the man when the court can hope to expect the pleasure of this fine young man's attendance. There is more laughter. Again it is too quick and nervous.
