Funny word. he said absently to himnot looking up after seeing his approach he was reading his smartphone as he returned to the table

A funny word

Yes. Flageolet. You know it?

              Flageolet.

You know what it is, the word means?

                         Albeit that woudbe a fageolet  No disrespect intended

when he blitzed him like that Smartphone still preoccupied with the lightedscreen in his eyes couldnt hear well he couldnt do two things at once 

                                his face blanched as he finally looked up at himlooked him in the face  What are you talking about?
