CHAPTER VII
14/22

"Not proper (IL NE FALLAIT PAS) to negotiate Bills of Exchange, and never produce a single diamond"-- bit of peltry, or ware of any kind, you son of Amalek! "Not proper to say: I have got money for your bills of exchange, and I bring you nothing back; and I will repay your money when you shall no longer be here [in Germany at all].

Not proper to promise at 35 louis, and then say 30.

To say 30, and then next morning 25.

You should at least have produced goods (IL FALLAIT EN DONNER) at the price current; very easy to do when one was on the spot.

All your procedures have been faults hitherto.
