THE EARLY MORNING CALLER. THIS PERSON ENTERS YOUR HOME EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WALKS STEALTHILY LIKE A THIEF. IF YOU WAKE UP, HE PRETENDS HAVING ENTERED THE WRONG APARTMENT, LOOKING FOR A MR. PIERRE OR A MR. PAUL. HE IS ABASHED WITH APOLOGIES AND RETREATS AFTER CARRYING OFF WHAT HAS FALLEN INTO HIS HANDS. THIS MAN WORKS AROUND ALL THE HOTELS, KNOWING THAT THE TRAVELLERS HAVE THE HABIT OF LEAVING THEIR KEY IN THE DOOR.
Honoré Daumier
