TO IMAGINE THAT NEXT YEAR I WILL BE EXHIBITED AND THAT EVERYBODY IN PARIS WILL SEE ME... ITS IS KIND OF FLATTERING, ISN'T IT DEAR? - I'M JUST UNHAPPY THAT YOU WON'T BE WEARING YOUR NECK-TIE... IT LOOKS A BIT SLOPPY... IF THERE IS STILL SOME TIME, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE SCULPTOR TO ADD ON YOUR STAND-UP COLLAR.
