twenty francs a caricature, and it worked like a charm. Within a month my
clientele had doubled. Had I gone on like that I'd be a millionaire today.
Soon I was looked up to in the town, I was 'somebody'. In the shop-window
of the one and only frame maker who could eke out a livelihood in Le
Havre, my caricatures were impudently displayed, five or six abreast, in
beaded frames or behind glass like very fine works of art, and when I saw
troops of bystanders gazing at them in admiration, pointing at them and
crying 'Why, that's so-and-so!', I was just bursting with pride."
