Q. If a man pulls you aside and says "You're over forty—it's time you got smart. What are you dreaming of? Do you think I don't know all your pranks? […] Well, take a look at yourself, only think, what are you? You're a zero, nothing more," what horrible things do you write about him in your diary?
Devil take him, his face bears a slight resemblance to a druggist's bottle, with a tuft of hair curled into a forelock sticking up, smeared with some pomade.
I'm rubber you're glue, your words bounce off me and stick to you.
His nose isn't made of gold, it's the same as mine or anybody else's; he doesn't eat with it, he smells; he doesn't cough, he sneezes.
He's a doornail. An ordinary doornail, a simple doornail, nothing more.
