Word Beyond Measure is Man's Greatest Treasure

Snelgrove: [referring to The Count of Monte Cristo] So, then we find out that Madame Danglars and Lucien are LOVERS!

Class catcalls and "Oooh"s.

Kid: Wait, isn't Lucien the one who does Madame Danglars' stocks?

Snelgrove: That's one way of putting it.

The class sits in absolute silence for about three seconds, stunned. Then the entire room is erupts into laughter, while Snelgrove's jaw drops and his face grows red.


Snelgrove: (Grabs textbook on desk, closes it, then points at it) THAT is a closed book!!
