Then he erupts into braying, crowing laughter, head thrown back, kicking the seat of the couch in delight.]
Are you actually-! [He only gets out snatches of words and phrases between laughs and howls.] You- I cannot actually believe you. You are the living incarnation of the British Museum!
[He stares for a moment at the peal of laughter, looking a little bewildered, before a slow smile crosses his face and then, then he starts giggling too.]
Oh god, you're right. Except, y'know, I don't actually keep the stuff. I'm good at finding things. Recently, there was this guy, I think he must've been East German. Heard him speak Russo-Deutsche. He wanted me to find this mythical lost Shakespeare-Marlowe play.
