I am an idiot. I thought you knew Latin and were quoting these from your native stock of quotations. From this last, from an obscure author cited in Suetonius to the words of Pilate at the trial of Jesus, it has dawned on me that this range, from classical sources of ancient history to a knowledge of the Bible and some of its dramatic moments in Greek or Latin, is unlikely with a person of the age and the views displayed otherwise. There is a compendium, is there not? Some vade mecum that amateurs dip into to grace their letters?
Well, so be it. There is no fool, they say, talking of the relations between the genders, like an old fool, and how true it is. I am now a living example and embarrassed in public by a gullible acceptance of scholarship and learning. Congratulations on your victory. It must make you laugh heartily to think of a pedant pathetically grateful at the chance of exchanging views with a learned person. Droll, undoubtedly, very droll. And very clever too. Enjoy your little triumph.

Good day to you.
