In his life as an avid art collector and connoisseur, he loved every artwork illustration and proof – to the point of dreaming himself an odalisque laying atop a tableau of paper.

Ah, this time, my publisher was no longer ensuring the novel's success! He had to absolve himself of any responsibility. To walk away from the gambling table...
