Well, she was paid to be polite. She worked behind the counter for the Quebec tourism industry. Nevertheless she was very engaging...in a very correct sort of way. The whole trip was entertaining not the least of which was unwittingly getting involved in a demonstration in downtown Montreal between anglophiles and francophiles.

Since I don't speak French, I don't know what language I could have used. Pig latin?
