- Stream of consciousness? Well... Well...

- What author has chiefly influenced you?

- Grey.

- Grey? What Grey?

- Zane Grey.

- That's Mr Martins' little joke, of course. We all know perfectly well Zane Grey wrote what we call westerns. Cowboys and bandits.

- Oh... would you mind repeating that question?

- I said, where would you put Mr James Joyce? In what category?

- Can I ask, is Mr Martins engaged on a new book?

- Yes. It's called The Third Man.

- A novel, Mr Martins?

- It's a murder story. I've just started it. It's based on fact.

- Why, it's Mr Popescu! Oh, very great pleasure to see you here, Mr Popescu. As you know, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Popescu is a very great supporter of one of our medical charities.

- Are you a slow writer, Mr Martins?

- Not when I get interested.
