When the noted French author Andre Maurois visited the United States, he gave a series of lectures in French before a women’s club. Maurois was pleased with the attitude of the attendees because they never skipped class, were attentive to his every word, and took a lot of notes.
One morning, the women arrived in the lecture hall with their notebooks in hand as usual. What was different from usual was that Maurois was nowhere to be seen. The women waited an hour before getting in touch with Maurois’s secretary.
“Monsieur Maurois will not be there today,” the secretary said in surprise. “He announced that very clearly at last week’s talk!”
Evidently, all the attendees on that day hadn’t understood what Maurois said during the lecture the week before. Presumably, they hadn’t understood what Maurois said at every other lecture they attended either. What about all the notes they were producing, then? They were probably writing every fragment of what they thought Maurois said, deceiving others, and even themselves, by pretending that they understood his French.
