"It's strange how rich men fancy they can have everything for their

money. Well, and if I don't want to consent--what then? I don't

care a pin for your presents! You might give me Paris, and yet I

should say no! Always no! Look here, it's scarcely clean in this

room, yet I should think it very nice if I wanted to live in it with

you. But one's fit to kick the bucket in your palaces if one isn't

in love. Ah, as to money, my poor pet, I can lay my hands on that

if I want to, but I tell you, I trample on it; I spit on it!"
