EXPLOITATION OF LOVE. OH! MY DARLING. I CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH I ADMIRE, HOW MUCH I CARESS THE CHARMING PORTRAIT WHICH YOU SENT ME! YOU EVEN HAD IT EMBELLISHED WITH PRECIOUS STONES. WHAT FOLLY!! YOU MUSTN'T DO THINGS LIKE THAT. IT GRIEVES ME... AND THIS WATCH CHAIN. HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS! HOW RICHLY DECORATED!!... I'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU A NICE PRESENT IN RETURN, SOMETHING TO REMIND YOU OF OUR LOVE AND HAPPINESS... I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LOCK OF MY HAIR
Honoré Daumier
