ME: Not much, I agree. But large numbers of men must work at them before the man of genius appears, one man in a multitude. But let's drop that subject. It's been an eternity since I last saw you. I hardly think of you when I don't see you. But I'm always pleased to see you again.

 and surly. For no one, not even a pretty woman who wakes up with a pimple on her nose, is as moody as an author who threatens to outlive his reputation--just look at Marivaux and the younger Crebillon. He greets me. "Ah, ha, so there you are, Mister Philosopher. What are you doing here in this pile of idlers? Are you also wasting time pushing wood around?" That's how people speak contemptuously of chess or checkers. ME: No. But when I don't have anything better to do, I amuse myself for a bit by watching those who push well. HIM: In that case you don't get to enjoy yourself often. Except for Legal and Philidor, the others have no idea about the game. ME: What about Mr. de Bissy? HIM: That man plays chess the way Miss Clairon acts. They both know everything about their respective games that one can learn. ME: You're harsh. I see you honour only men of genius. HIM: Yes. In chess, in checkers, poetry, oratory, music and other similar nonsense. What good is mediocrity in things like that?
