Hi Ian
I really enjoyed your essay!
It was very brave as such a dialogue is extremely challenging. You have to maintain a direction to the conversation leading the reader to thoughts without explicitly stating them, and all the while make the conversation lively, engaging and natural. Its a daunting challenge, and I think that you did a great job!
I enjoyed how the dialogue began and ended with the two attempting to shove the Doormouse into the teacup.
I wonder, did the Doormouse actually count to infinity in the same way that Achilles caught up to and passed the Tortoise?
Cheers
Kevin
