HIM: But if these people weren't ridiculous in themselves, one couldn't make up good stories about them. And then is it my fault if they become vulgar? Is it my fault, once they've become vulgar, if people betray and ridicule them? If they decide to live with people like us and have any common sense, they have to expect all sorts of dark stuff. People who take up with us, surely they know us for what we are, for self interested souls  vile and two timing? If they understand us, then everything's fine. HIM BUT IF THESE PEOPLE WEREN'T RIDICULOUS IN THEMSELVES ONE COULDN'T MAKE UP GOOD STORIES ABOUT THEM AND THEN IS IT MY FAULT IF THEY BECOME VULGAR IS IT MY FAULT ONCE THEY'VE BECOME VULGAR IF PEOPLE BETRAY AND RIDICULE THEM IF THEY DECIDE TO LIVE WITH PEOPLE LIKE US AND HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE THEY HAVE TO EXPECT ALL SORTS OF DARK STUFF PEOPLE WHO TAKE UP WITH US SURELY THEY KNOW US FOR WHAT WE ARE FOR SELF INTERESTED SOULS VILE AND TOO TIMEING IF THEY UNDERSTAND US THEN EVERYTHING'S FINE
t mentioning the other slight indispositions which no one bothered about in front of me. Those were all right. I've never believed in too much formality. I've read, I don't know where, that a prince known as The Great used to rest sometimes leaning against the back of his mistress's toilet commode. People act relaxed around their familiars, and in those days I was more familiar than anyone. I'm the apostle of familiarity and relaxation. I preached them there by example, without anyone objecting to me. They just had to let me be. I've given you a sketch of my patron. Mademoiselle is beginning to put on weight, and you should hear the fine stories people make of that. ME: You're not one of those people, are you? HIM: Why not? ME: At the very least it's indecent to make your benefactors sound ridiculous. HIM: But isn't it even worse to let your good deeds give you an excuse to discredit your protégé? ME: If the protégé wasn't vile on his own, nothing would give his protector such a right. APOURS NOW ITS NERVES I'M NOT MENTIONING THE OTHER SLIGHT INDISPOSITIONS WHICH NO ONE BOTHERED ABOUT IN FRONT OF ME THOSE WERE ALL RIGHT I'VE NEVER BELIEVED IN TOO MUCH FORMALITY I'VE READ I DON'T KNOW AIR THAT A PRINCE KNOWN AS THE GREAT USED TO REST SOMETIMES LEANING AGAINST THE BACK OF HIS MISTRESS'S TOILET COMMODE PEOPLE ACT RELAXED ROUND THEIR FAMILIARS AND IN THOSE DAYS I WAS MORE FAMILIAR THAN ANY ONE I'M THE APOSTLE OF FAMILIARITY AND RELAXATION I PREACHED THEM THERE BY EXAMPLE WITHOUT ANY ONE OBJECTING TO ME THEY JUST HAD TO LET ME BE I'VE GIVEN YOU A SKETCH OF MY PATRON MADEMOISELLE IS BEGINNING TO PUT ON WEIGHT AND YOU SHOULD HEAR THE FINE STORIES PEOPLE MAKE OF THAT ME YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE YOU HIM WHY NOT ME AT THE VERY LEAST IT'S INDECENT TO MAKE YOUR BENEFACTORS SOUND RIDICULOUS HIM BUT ISN'T IT EVEN WORSE TO LET YOUR GOOD DEEDS GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO DISCREDIT YOUR PROTEGE ME IF THE PROTEGE WASN'T VILE IN HIS OWN NOTHING WOULD GIVE HIS PROTECTOR SUCH A RIGHT
