"Oui, je parle," Graveworthy retorted, and she blinked.
I'm pretty sure that the french part should be "Oui, je le parle" (je parle = I speak; je le parle = I speak it) afaik. Admittedly I haven't spoken french in more than 10 years, so any native speakers feel free to correct me.
Also, I'm confused. If you can get hurt landing in Australia as a Creationist, what about Clare? (And Anderson for that matter.) How does it hurt them? Or is that explained later?
"We're so close to Australia, though. Seems a shame to waste half a day going inland to find someplace where nobody's going to notice that a flying boat is landing. What are we going to do when we land in Australia, anyway?"
And this raises a point that I realise has been bothering me; that there doesn't seem to have been any discussion of the practicalities of what would happen once they reached Australia earlier in the story. I'd have thought Clare at least would want to know details before even agreeing to go rather than bringing it up a day or two before they are going to land.
