Le declasse que j'etais, l'homme qui vivait d'expedients, devint fou d'elle au premier regard. Et c'est comme ca que je ne vis pas le fosse qui se creusait devant moi, et au bout duquel m'attendait la culbute. Et lorsqu'un jour enfin elle me proposa, moyennant cinquante millions, de l'aider a faire de ce mort vivant un mort definitif, je fis seulement semblant d'hesiter. Quoi qu'on en dise, quand on a l'amour, mieux vaut le fric que l'eau fraiche. Priority Mail shipping for this item costs $7.00 at the request of a buyer.
