Interstitials

Remy passes on some news of a book sale.**

 ...

Remy: Just got a call from a friend who said we should get down to Falcon Books and check out its interstitials.

James: Interwhatsits? I didn’t know the Falcon sold whatsits. I thought its line was coffee and the occasional book.

Remy: Samuel Johnson liked interstitials. Through them he foresaw the Internet. “Any thing reticulated or decussated, at equal distances, with interstices between the intersections.”

James: What rot. Wasn’t in the Rambler.

Remy: It’s in his dictionary. Look up how he defined “network.” Mark my words. “Interstitial” is a word that’s ready for a comeback.

 

**In the film version, Remy stars as Ratatouille, James as Peter O’Toole. See it soon at your nearest Interstitial. It's not half bad.
