t relieve them of their boredom--I take that for granted--but I have to amuse myself sometimes. In the middle of this mess, a fatal thought went through my mind, an idea which made me arrogant and inspired me with pride and insolence: it was the notion that they couldn't do without me, that I was someone indispensable. ME: Yes, I think you're very useful to them, but they're even more so to you. You won't find a house as good as that one, when you want to, but those people, if they're missing one fool, can come up with a hundred. HIM: A hundred fools like me! Mister Philosopher, they're not as common as that. Yes, some insipid fools. It's harder to find quality in foolishness than in talent or virtue. I'm a rare member of my species, yes, very rare. Now that they don't have me any more, what are they doing? They're as bored as dogs. I'm an inexhaustible sack of impertinence. At every moment I had a joke which made people laugh until they cried. For them I was an entire house of idiots. AND FROM NIGHT TO MORNING I MUST RELIEVE THEM OF THEIR BOREDOM I TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED BUT I HAVE TO AMUSE MYSELF SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MESS A FATAL THOUGHT WENT THROUGH MY MIND AN IDEA WHICH MADE ME ARROGANT AND INSPIRED ME WITH PRIDE AND INSOLENCE IT WAS THE NOTION THAT THEY COULDN'T DO WITHOUT ME THAT I WAS SOME ONE INDISPENSABLE ME YES I THINK YOU'RE VERY USEFUL TO THEM BUT THEY'RE EVEN MORE SO TO YOU YOU WON'T FIND A HOUSE AS GOOD AS THAT ONE WHEN YOU WANT TO BUT THOSE PEOPLE IF THEY'RE MISSING ONE FOOL CAN COME UP WITH A HUNDRED HIM A HUNDRED FOOLS LIKE ME MISTER PHILOSOPHER THEY'RE NOT AS COMMON AS THAT YES SOME INSIPID FOOLS IT'S HARDER TO FIND QUALITY IN FOOLISHNESS THAN IN TALENT OR VIRTUE I'M A RARE MEMBER OF MY SPECIES YES VERY RARE NOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ME ANY MORE WHAT ARE THEY DOING THEY'RE AS BORED AS DOGS I'M AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SACK OF IMPERTINENCE AND EVERY MOMENT I HAD A JOKE WHICH MADE PEOPLE LAUGH UNTIL THEY CRIED FOR THEM I WAS AN ENTIRE HOUSE OF IDIOTS
