I propose, then, that you sell me your digestive power, as my laborers sell me their mus- cular powers, my engineers their intellec- tual ix^wers, my cashiers their honesty — 24 — 3s o ^ THE SALE OF AN APPETITE and the nurses who care for my children their milk and their maternal cares." 'Is it possible?" '^Perfectly so. You produce and fur- nish the appetite, I will eat and drink for you and you will be satisfied. The moralists, who are untoward and melan- choly bipeds, teach solemnly the cont...empt of what they call disdainfully the pleas- ures of the flesh; you are young and sim- ple enough to indulge such scruples. Sell me your appetite, which condemns you to labor and poverty, and you shall have money to pay for the pleasures of which you are now deprived. I will allow you a monthly income of 1,500 francs." "But—" ''No buts! you don't think that enough ? Call it two thousand. Consider — 25 — THE SALE OF AN APPETITE that if you reject my offer, you will not know where to sleep this evening or where to get your breakfast tomorrow, and if you agree to the bargain the pret- ty girls of the boulevard will welcome you to their beds/' Emile's eyes sparkled.
