In golden house, you write stacks of ingots, sacks of doubloons and racks of louis dor. You can't fool yourself when you hear yourself saying something that isn't right - it gets past your defences. And particularly with long dialogue sections, because the difficulty of dialogue is to differentiate properly so that each person sounds like themselves.
