How unutterably rude that guy was!
Oh, dear! Now I have a cultural clash with dear Jackie! Jackie, perhaps I should have explained that after a long careful briefing of the Virginian patent attorney, he had completely misunderstood several important points, and was in his best FFV languid manner going way off on a tangent, at about twenty bucks a minute. In that situation, a delay in ensuring mutual comprehension would have been disastrous. I can assure you that the young man who interrupted the Virginian was very well brought up by two highly cultured professors. And the Virginian was more than a bit of a windbag, but was in the position of having few competitors.This was not a social occasion, it was business, and la-di-da manners have no place in business. Common courtesy yes, but comprehension delayed, no.
