"Je verrais mourir frere, enfants, mere et femme, Que je m'en soucierais autant que de cela"PS put a "grave" accent on the first "e" of "mere" and "frere"

This is a tough one! I did A level French (not very well- and got a low grade!! I can't speak it well, either!) But we did study some French Literature. I haven't got a copy, now- but I'd guess that it's probably Moliere (with a grave accent over the first e?!!) It's probably "Le Malade Imaginaire" (I'm not even sure if the spelling's right!) Because he's talking about dying. Give us the answer at some point, Mystic- I'm intruiged.

5 out of 10, then- I got the playwright! Have you studied Guy De Maupassant? Or Gustave Flaubert (Madame Bovary)? We did those for A level. Also Alphonse Daudet "Lettres de mon Moulin." I wish I tried harder with my French, actually. (But- I got the school prize for A level English Literature. A long, long time ago, that was!)
(And who's this on about black cheese?!!!)
