How shall I inscribe this?

Would you sign it, "To Ruth"?

"To Ruth, With Thanks, Mary Fisher."

Thank you.
Mary does a double take, having heard that name somewhere, but brushes it off. With a "devilish" twinkle in her eyes, Ruth departs; the next one in line steps up.

Would you inscribe it "To Alain", please.

Bien sur. (Translation: "Of course.")

Your grasp of the Postmodern metaphor is wonderful, Mrs. Fisher.

Oh, no, no, no. Miss Fisher. (She removes her glasses and begins to flirt) Please, call me...Mary.
