    The discussion risks becoming an otiose diversion.

    Sus, revenons à ces moutons!
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Poirot appeared agitated, tapping his hand lightly against his temple, murmuring about 'the little grey cells'.

        Suddenly he span round and pointed at Ventilhorn "But you know, Herr Ventilhorn! You know it is a gentleman because ... it is YOU! "

        , Ventilhorn blenched.

        "Or should I call you Herr Hornspieler?" said Poirot, his eyes ablaze in triumph.

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Are you sure you're all right ff - the weather is a bit hot?

          It's just that a couple of days ago you were telling us that you're going to rename your pipe (??). Today, you're telling Sue her lunch break is over and you've got more sheep-shearing to do(??).

              Brahm's String #Quintets, are rather good methinks.

                I've so decided.

                Brahms is NOT a dull composer. It is only those primadonna conductors that make him so.

                Thus spake Mario.

                  I've never realised Mario is just a synonym for Zarathustra

                      Well I very much hope tonight's Faustian pact with Brahms lives up to my expectations.

                        That is next Roehre! Apart from, erm, Also sprach etc, I know little R Strauss, but let me get through my RVW first please.
