Chapter 17 16

When I entered Jay's, the Rat was reading, with his elbows on the counter, a very thick novel by Henry James. Does it look good? The Mouse lifted his face from the book and shook his head.However, I've read a lot since the last time I talked to you.You know I love gorgeous hypocrisy more than meager truth.Is this sentence? have no idea. It was said by French film director Roger Valtin, and the so-called superior intellectuality of this kind of saying is to hold two opposing concepts at the same time, and to be able to give full play to the functions of both on the one hand. Who said this?

Forgot, do you think it's true? lie. Why? What should I do if I wake up at three o'clock in the middle of the night with an empty stomach and nothing when I open the refrigerator? The mouse thought for a moment, then laughed out loud.I called Jay over, ordered a beer and french fries, and handed the mouse the record wrapper. What's this? birthday present. But it will be next month. I won't be here next month. The mouse took the package and mused. Is that so?So lonely.If you are not here.The mouse said as he opened the package, took out the record and looked at it. Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3, Greggold, Reynolds Bansteen.Hmm, never heard of it, how about you?

Neither do I. Anyway thanks.Honestly, I couldn't be happier.
