[He chuckles at alcohol inspiring confidence. Maybe that's what he wanted. He used to have it all the time.]
You know who you remind me of? I knew a French ornithologist. [He might have been drunk enough that he had to very carefully say that word.] She was so annoyed with me. I drank cheap wine. I liked the sounds of the city. I was ridiculous when I drank. I was obnoxiously self assured in my good looks.
But she was intelligent and educated and classy. As classy as a woman who went tearing through the wilderness for the purpose of discovery could get. And most importantly, when she got drunk, she was ridiculous too.
[And she never stopped being annoyed with Miller. To be honest, wherever she ended up, he hopes that Cécile looks back upon knowing him and breathes "pest" under her breath for old times sake.]
