Endnote 274 — Poutrincourt's genuine accent

Poutrincourt's use of the Canadian idiom "réflechis" (p. 1052) rather than the textbook "réflexes" marks her as the real Canadian article, though without Marathe's long moany vowels. The note also flags that a certain "journalist" (Steeply) will be wiring Falls Church for her classified files.
