Learning Curves 1 - French Cooking 101
“George was a serious bore. At least he was when Peter was around. The man didn’t talk. He grunted or gave two or three syllable answers to all of Peter’s questions. George didn’t lack vocabulary. After all, the man was an author. He wrote endless historical sagas. As far as words were concerned, he was probably a hundred times richer than the average person. He was capable of elaborate sentences with nuance and subtlety. So Peter knew George’s behavior was deliberate. The more Peter thought abo...ut it, the more annoyed he became. George was rude. Not only did he refuse to give them a chance to get acquainted, but he made it impossible for Peter to have a private conversation with his sister. Peter wanted to ask her why she had decided to take a chance on such an ass. Obviously he wouldn’t have worded his question that way. Unlike George, he had some manners. He would have explained to Mary that he was not prying out of idle curiosity. He was looking for arguments to convince Ariane to open up to him.MoreLess
