"Settling? As best as can be hoped for, I suppose. The weather here is the most distasteful, it curls and rots papers and cracks wood. Nothing can be repaired or restored if the air is damp, and the air is always damp. The labourers are all brutes with no eye for detail or even the barest understanding of fragile." He paused to take a sip of his drink, realising that his 'trade' talk would be found offensive, if not simply boring, but his old friend. "But such is England." He added with a faint smile. "But I imagine it is more difficult for you? London is hardly Paris, even on the driest and sunniest of days."

Antoine had no problem with trade talk. It didn't bother him - everyone had to have something to do to occupy their time. And for his old friend, it was his old papers and books, treasures as they were. However much he didn't understand the trade talk, he did understand the sentiment. "I agree. The English seem to just be so...less civilized then the French. At least the French at Versailles anyway." The French people were displaying their lack of civilisation at the moment. "Although, I have to admit there are good sides. No concern about meeting Madame Guillotine anytime soon."
