Hello, Reader! I will be mostly silent throughout this transcription, but I would like to warn you, here, that our very dear, very intelligent Français friend may, at times, use words or phrases that may seem odd to you. I will, therefore, be interrupting in as brief a manner as possible, to explain some of these. You understand that, as his intelligence is comparable to none, I am simply retelling his expression in a way that his readers might understand him better. I will also pause to relay some gesture or action of our dear Fantôme that aids in adding emphasis and/or emotion to his dictation.
