      Namaste Yam! Heh, you overestimate the depth of my spy skills, but thanks for the vote of confidence! That said, every word is true, especially the made up bits. Indigo x

    A whip? Was Ziva conducting the interview? She's turned things up a notch if she's using that car battery and jumper cables.

      Hey Dufus! In 1990, old boy? I think not. Miss G was an old school Russian, though not in a "ladies shot putter" sense. Indigo

    What, no Latin? Just because it's a dead language, no one wants to bother, y'know?

    Actually, haven't I seen some Latin somewhere here?

      Hey Jenn! Latin? No ma'am, not here. Oh, apart from Romanus eunt domus, obviously. *has ear twisted* Excuse me, I mean Romanii ite domum. Roth x

    And by the way, I was wrong; there's a large body of German poetry. Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies are really quite something. Roth

      Not to cast aspersions on your honesty or anything egregious like that, but have you actually READ those suckers?

      Not all of them (Ten? Twelve?), but yes; a friend at the office with a German spouse lent me an old hardback copy with dual languages on opposite pages. Perhaps the translation gave it a more "English"/evocative spin, but it was worth reading.

    Non parla Italiano? Ma come?? E' davvero una bella lingua!

    Me, I studied German at PRIMARY school, perforce, for a year, then French at secondary school. I can read quite a good amount of French but not speak it, and though I tried to pick up German again as an adult, I found it horribly difficult and uninteresting and progressed so slowly I almost went backwards. But then my older son got himself an Italian girlfriend/partner and I thought I'd give it a go, and it seems I have an aptitude for it. Who'd have thought it?

    Loved your story. And no, I didn't guess the ending!
