1st voice: Le Chevalier Jean Baptiste Doutron is suffering badly. 2nd voice: But the ALC did well last month, and he was mentioned in dispatches. 1st voice: I mean in the affair with Serf-Edly. 2nd voice: But surely he'll win the duel with that novice. 1st voice: Oh yes, or he's really in trouble!. But though he win the duel, he's already lost the fight. 2nd voice: I don't understand? 1st voice: Clearly Serf-Edly has won the exchanges. Doutron is out of his depth. I think Major is as high as he's capable of - in fact, a demotion might be appropriate. Either that, or someone gives him a stern word to stay out of these verbal exchanges, before he loses any more credibility.
