This is what i read in the meeting from Paris 2005; A novel of suspense. (This is not all of it, but this is the best part.)
"The venison was delicious,pink inside and puent with gamey flavor, graced by a few string beans. The wine was extraordinary, its round, dark taste almost too strong for her, but it matched the venison. It was a man's meal.
 They finished the bottle withsome heavy yellow cheese, Tomme de Savoie. Valerie wiped her lips with the linen napkin.
'I want to sleep with you,' She said.
He looked down at the last of the wine in his glass.
'Someday, when the Revolution is over, I will be able to live again with my wife and son.'
'Let me love you. You will not be the first that i have loved and lost.'
 He looked at her, his eyes steady and sad. 'I am responsible for you.'
'Yes'
'I might need to ask you to die for me.'
She nodded.
'Or, not even ask.'
'I understand.'
She stood up. 'Is this the bedroom?'
'Yes... So, I am seduced.'"
Right here I'm going to leave out most of this, so the blog won't be flagged or anything, but i will say this "He was gentel and efficien..." Hmmmm, I have no idea (hint hint) what that means, and i urge you not to guess either. Contenuing.
"They woke early. He scrambled eggs for her and made taost in an old-fashioned toaster with flat metal sides that folded away from the heating element. He gave her fresh oranges to squeeze for juice and had to show her how; in her family, they had never squeezd fresh oranges. The coffee was hot and strong, with heavy cream floating at the top.
 'You wil corrupt me with toast and orange juice.' she told him, smiling."
And ther you have iit. Enjoy.

That writing reminds me of a bad version of the James Bond novel I read last week. Made me appreciate how good Ian Fleming's writing is.
