Bernadetta: So full! That fruit plate really hit the spot... Time to get nice and snug, maybe do some sewing...
Sylvain: Hey, Bernadetta. You look
pretty happy. Celebrating something?
Bernadetta: What? N-no! Nothing at all!
Sylvian: Hey, relax! It's OK if you'd rather not tell me. By the way, I believe you left something in the library...
Bernadetta: A half-written manuscript?
Sylvain: Your own work, I presume?
I was curious who it belonged to and
gave it a read-through. You're a really
talented writer!
Bernadetta: ...
Sylvain: I'm sorry. I peeked at the
first page then the next, and I
couldn't stop.
I think it's good enough to publish.
It's the kind of adventure story that
will make people laugh and cry!
I love how you never know what mess
the hero is going to get herself into
next. I'm dying to read more!
Bernadetta: ...
Sylvain: Uh, your mouth's hanging wide
open. Bernadetta? Are you OK?
Bernadetta: Sorry, um... Was someone
talking about a story?
Sylvain: Yes? That would be me. I read
your book.
Bernadetta: Y-y-you read my book?
Sylvain: Yeah, and I loved it!
Bernadetta: Aaah! I'm so humiliated!
Please, forget everything you read!
Sylvain: Humiliated? No, I think the
word you're looking for is "humbled"
because-- and she's gone.
Now what do I do with this book?
Bernadetta: Ugh, he actually read it! I
regret everything...
Even if I burn the pages, I can't burn
his memory. Not unless I...throw him in
the fire too...
No, that's awful. Don't think things
like that, Bernie.

Bernadetta: Ugh... I've looked everywhere... I guess Sylvain must still have it... Huh? When did this book get here? Wait. This is mine! And there's...something sticking out of it... A letter? "Dear Author, I read your manuscript quite by accident and duly apologize. "However, I also write today to inform you that I enjoyed your story tremendously. "I laughed and cried as the heroine overcame her many obstacles, growing stronger with each step. "Your literary style presents a unique perspective. I could sense you watching over the protagonist." Heh-heh! Wow, so many compliments, and so much attention to detail. "The girl's failures are as compelling as her triumphs. Since authors are told to write what they know... "I believe your tale would not have been so convincing were it not for your own experiences." Um, what? My own experiences? That's a weird way to give praise... Who wrote this, anyway? Who would read my story so carefully and then write this long letter to tell me about it? Whoever it is, they must be wonderful. Someone like my dear old uncle... "I do hope my letter inspires you to keep writing. "Looking forward to the next chapter. Your devoted fan, Sylvain." What?! Sylvain?! It can't be!
Sylvain: Heya, Bernadetta. Did you read
my letter?
Bernadetta: Ah! How long have you been
standing there?!
Sylvain: I'm sorry, but I fell head
over heels for your story. It's so
good, and I just had to tell you about
it.
So what do you say? Will you write
more? Why don't we talk literature over
some tea?
Bernadetta: Oh, I see your plan now!
You're out to humiliate me! Very
clever, but I'm not falling for it!
