"All right! when you return to Paris we will have a meeting at your house or at mine or at Goubaux's and we will fix our plans."

"That it shall be under your names and I shall remain behind the curtain."
"Why so?"
"Because, in the first place, the idea is not mine; and, secondly, because I have decided never to let my name be associated with any other name."[1]
"Then we will withhold our names."
"No, indeed! that is out of the question."
