'This is better than Lafontaine's fables! Planted four hundred
dollars! Listen, you're all in the currency racket--I ask you now, as
experts : is that possible? '
'We're not currency racketeers,' cried a number of offended voices
from the audience, ' but it's impossible! '
'I entirely agree,' said the actor firmly, ' and now I'd like to ask
you : what sort of things do people plant on other people? '
'Babies! ' cried someone at the back.
'Quite right,' agreed the compere. ' Babies, anonymous letters,
manifestos, time bombs and God knows what else, but no one would ever plant
four hundred dollars on a person because there just isn't anyone idiotic
enough to try.' Turning to Nikanor Ivanovich the artist added sadly and
reproachfully: ' You've disappointed me, Nikanor Ivanovich. I was relying on
you. Well, that number was a flop, I'm afraid.'
The audience began to boo Nikanor Ivanovich.
'He's in the currency black market all right,' came a shout from the
crowd, ' and innocent people like us have to suffer because of the likes of
him.'
