Speak French

“I know you’re here.... What’s wrong? Are you afraid to speak up? Is that all you’re good for, to frighten women? Well, I’m not afraid of you. Whoever heard of a cowardly ghost?”

“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
