I have absolute confidence that I can save this unfortunate wretch. One must remember: he is from Chicago. That alone can account for a great deal. He has suffered much. But when he is exposed to the ineffable glories and beauties of the French culture, all that will be washed away. It will be as if it had never been. I have saved others, and I shall save Martin too. Nothing can stop Jacques Le Vendreau when he sets his mind to the task.
