Twain, taking his time glancing over the house, hears the doorbell of his Mississippi mansion ring with the soothing rhythm of "Silver Bells". Yes, the Christmas jingle used to brighten any sour mood. Slowly examining the room one last time, Twain begins the calm 6 stride journey to the door, Scotch glass in hand. However, before getting within a 2 stride radius, the door is swung open by lesbian novelist, and sexual boundary breaker Jeanette Winterson.

(Swirls Scotch in glass) Why mister Boyle! So nice of you to ring a doorbell and then wait for assistance. (Sideways glance towards Winterson)
I hope you don't mind, but Miss. Jeanette Winterson and I have already begun the intriguing topic of morality, and have vaguely gone over certain characters from certain novels. If the two of you would be so kind as to follow me into my living room, we shall continue with our conversation Miss. Winterson with the addition of Mr. Boyle.
