HIM: So much the better. It's one of the most beautiful things one could imagine. All Europe marveled at it, and there isn't a single courtier who wasn't envious of it. You're a man who doesn't lack a certain shrewdness  let's see what you'd have done in his place. Remember that Bouret was loved by his dog. Remember that the odd costume of the minister used to terrify the little animal. And remember that there were only eight days to overcome the difficulties.

 good pupil. But if this role is amusing at first and if you enjoy the pleasure of laughing to yourself at the stupidity of those you are intoxicating, in the long run it loses its appeal. Besides, after a certain number of discoveries, you have to repeat yourself. Wit and art have their limits. Only God or a few rare geniuses could make a career out of it which grows as they advance. Bouret is such a person, perhaps. That man has certain tricks which impress me (yes, even me) as sublime ideas--the little dog, the book of happiness, the torches on the road to Versailles--those are things which stagger me and put me to shame. It could be enough to make one unhappy with the profession. ME: What about that little dog? What are you talking about? HIM: Where have you come from? What--in all seriousness, you don't know how that extraordinary man set about detaching himself from a little dog and attaching it to the Keeper of the Seals, who'd taken a fancy to it? ME: I confess I have no idea.. XAMPLE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT A GOOD PUPIL BUT IF THIS RULE IS AMUSING AT FIRST AND IF YOU ENJOY THE PLEASURE OF LAUGHING TO YOURSELF AT THE STUPIDITY OF THOSE YOU ARE INTOXICATING IN THE LONG RUN IT LOSES ITS APPEAL BESIDES AFTER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DISCOVERIES YOU HAVE TO REPEAT YOURSELF WIT AND ART HAVE THEIR LIMITS ONLY GOD OR A FEW RARE GENIUSES COULD MAKE A CAREER OUT OF IT WHICH GROWS AS THEY ADVANCE BORAY IS SUCH A PERSON PERHAPS THAT MAN HAS CERTAIN TRICKS WHICH IMPRESS ME YES EVEN ME AS SUBLIME IDEAS THE LITTLE DOG THE BOOK OF HAPPINESS THE TORCHES ON THE ROAD TO VERSAILLES THOSE ARE THINGS WHICH STAGGER ME AND PUT ME TO SHAME IT COULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE ONE UNHAPPY WITH THE PROFESSION ME WHAT ABOUT THAT LITTLE DOG WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HIM WHERE HAVE YOU COME FROM WHAT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THAT EXTRAORDINARY MAN SET ABOUT DETACHING HIMSELF FROM A LITTLE DOG AND ATTACHING IT TO THE KEEPER OF THE SEALS WHO'D TAKEN A FANCY IT ME I CONFESS I HAVE NO IDEA
