“How you must detest dining in this bear garden,” she said, making use, as she did when she was distracted, of her social
manner. So, when there is a strife of tongues, at some meeting, the chairman, to obtain unity, suggests that every one shall
speak in French. Perhaps it is bad French; French may not contain the words that express the speaker’s thoughts;
nevertheless speaking French imposes some order, some uniformity.
