HIM: Well, that's the good side. That's the profit. But what about the charges  you don't say a word about those. First, if there was a rumour about a new play, no matter what the weather, I had to poke my nose in all the attics in Paris until I found the author. Then I had to find a way to read the work and to insinuate skillfully that there was role in it which would be performed extremely well by someone I knew. "By whom, if you please?" "By whom  a good question! Someone with grace, charm, and delicacy." HIM WELL THAT'S THE GOOD SIDE THAT'S THE PROFIT BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHARGES YOU DON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT THOSE FIRST IF THERE WAS A RUMOR ABOUT A NEW PLAY NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER I HAD TO POKE MY NOSE IN ALL THOSE ATTICS IN PARIS UNTIL I FOUND THE AUTHOR THEN I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO READ THE WORK AND TO INSINUATE SKILFULLY THAT THERE WAS A ROLE IN IT WHICH WOULD BE PERFORMED EXTREMELY WELL BY SOME ONE I KNEW BY WHOM IF YOU PLEASE BY WHOM A GOOD QUESTION SOME ONE WITH GRACE CHARM AND DELICACY

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. ME: So that's why you had table, bed, coat, vest, trousers, shoes, and a small allowance.
