Scintillating prose, different than anything I read before

-A seamlessly translated read, and most amusing, from the view of this strictly American 52 year old pediatrician, who has not kept up with international affairs to any great degree, and who has not been in France for over 20 years. Scintillating prose, effortless translation, yet retaining elements of the sparkling scintillation of the French language. Descriptions of Paris and of the use of language and "code" were incredibly interesting and very amusing. I am impressed with the strength of English in business, yet the flexible depth of French in the arena of diplomacy.-I AM returning avec epouse this Juillet spending 5 days SATURATING in Paris. I am avidly resuming my French language studies. Your conjectures into the French ethos were different than anything I had read, and I feel prepared to be......mystified with silent awe in our trip. -Mes meilleurs felicitations,.....vous avez vraiment fait un grand tabac (?syntax).Cordially,(Veuillez agreer, Messieurs, mes salutations distinguees)
