ROBERT MACAIRE BOOKSELLER. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WOULD THERE BE ANYONE IN THIS PLEASANT PLACE WHO'D LIKE TO MAKE HIMSELF A NICE LITTLE INCOME, WITHOUT DIFFICULTY AND WITHOUT WORKING?... IF THERE IS SOMEONE HE SHOULD STOCK MY PRIMERS... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A BOOKSELLER TO BE A SPECIALIST IN THIS TRADE, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO READ, QUITE THE CONTRARY!... YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY ME A DEPOSIT... THE BIGGER THE BETTER, AS THE SAYING GOES.
Honoré Daumier
Robert Macaire bookseller. Ladies and gentlemen, would there be anyone in this pleasant place who'd like to make himself a nice little income, without difficulty and without working?... If there is someone he should stock my primers... You don't have to be a bookseller to be a specialist in this trade, you don't even have to know how to read, quite the contrary!... You only have to pay me a deposit... The bigger the better, as the saying goes.
