Cher JAcques,

I am elated at the sheer boldness of your proposition; your choice of strategies is impeccable in the best Napoleonic tradition; unfortunately you have chosen a real ragamuffin for a target, one whose feces is invested in their vocabulary at every opportunity. Regardless, I know in my heart that if ANYONE can save Martin, you are the man of the moment, the chevalier du jour, the one for the job. Courage, mon vieux!! Allez-y!
