"No, it is not for myself; it is for the Duc d'Orléans. How much for him?"
"Four, five, six thousand francs, according to the gallery in which he will place it."
"It is not for himself."
"For whom?"
"It is for a present."
"To whom?"
"I am not authorised to tell you; I am only authorised to offer you six thousand francs."
"My Marino Faliero is not for sale."
"Why is it not for sale? Just now you would have given it me for a thousand francs."
"To you, yes."
