"I heard that Jubilost Narthropple was visiting your western neighbors. I don't know anyone who still attends his lectures or reads his articles. The obnoxious gnome can never manage to do without making sarcastic jokes at the expense of his own audience! But never mind.

Do you see now how lucky you are that Willas Gunderson himself has paid Varnhold a visit?"
