If they understand us, then everything's fine. There is a tacit agreement that they'll provide good things for us and sooner or later we'll pay back the good they've done us with something bad. Isn't this the agreement that exists between a man and his pet monkey or parrot?

re 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. 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?
