whenever it fell to her to talk with me alone, she would whisper in my ear her private opinions on the nature of love and its philosophy. How often she wondered, perplexed: "I do not understand why people attach all this importance to love... They have made a god of it. They have built temples to it, sung the tenderest poetry, gone to war over it.. even killed themselves!!.. And in judging love they have concluded that it is 'a dram of honey on a hundredweight of firewood!' Strange, this philosophizing! For love, in truth, is one of the simplest of things... it is like a drink of water.. Don't you agree?"
And when I turned away from her opinions on love, she would soon change the subject with consummate skill, passing quickly to a new offer of its kind: a journey with her to... China!!.. A month going, a month returning, and a month in Peking and the other cities, where we would come to terms with the commercial houses specializing in handwork... which is in demand in Paris.. and afterward we could open a shop here in Paris... and if fate should join Léa and Gibran, we would leave her in the shop and travel, the two of us, roaming God's wide earth. I love travel and you love it too... is it not so? We shall visit India and Japan and conclude commercial agreements... and it will not be long before the shop becomes one of the greatest shops in Paris, with money in our hands by the hundredweight.. Believe me, my friend, the arts and letters put no bread on the table!!..
In this manner Suzanne would range through her private talks with me, with enthusiasm and enticement. Once a part of her
commercial schemes reached the ears of Calmi; he shook his head and objected, laughing mockingly: "Don't tire yourself, Suzanne — the last thing our friend Joseph cares about is trade... Don't you see how he doesn't even know
how to buy a pair of drinking glasses? And gets muddled — nay, lost — over a reckoning of five francs!!. It seems to me he flees from money as if there were a feud between them!!.. Instead of attending to
