Nostradamus is always right!
  December 24, 2007

The gift shop at Maison Nostradamus was open, although the museum had already closed.  Henri picked up a random t-shirt and scowled.

“What is it?” asked Francine.

“It says here: 'I knew you would buy this!' ”  Henri replaced the shirt on the rack.  “You were wrong, you old charlatan!”

“Bah,” said Francine, and took the shirt, and handed it to the clerk along with a twenty-euro bill.  “He wasn't talking to you.”
