"But I am to win you, and will you tell me the poet or the philosopher who has ever spoken of the strategies employed in love as villainy?",Men do business well, but when women enter the field they are geniuses at money extracting. I felt myself already clothed perfectly when that girl said my figure "commanded" a proper dress. Of course, Klein pays Madame Courtier a commission for the customers she passes on to him.
