author’s note

A friend of mine is fluent in more than six million… oh, you know the rest. Personally I’m only fluent in English, as it is spoken round the corner from where I live. Since you know my voice, I’ve made the decision not to adopt American spellings here, but to keep my words in the original. I hope that’s OK.
