Book Description: 'Monsieur has bought my picture,' said Mademoiselle Noemie. 'When it's finished you'll carry it to him in a cab.' 'In a cab!' cried M. Nioche; and he stared, in a bewildered way, as if he had seen the sun rising at midnight. 'Are you the young lady's father?' said Newman. 'I think she said you speak English.' 'Speak English yes,' said the old man slowly rubbing his hands. 'I will bring it in a cab.' 'Say something, then,' cried his daughter. 'Thank him a little not too much.' 'A little, my daughter, a little?' said M. Nioche perplexed. 'How much?' 'Two thousand!' said Mademoiselle Noemie. 'Don't make a fuss or he'll take back his word.' 'Two thousand!' cried the old man, and he began to fumble for his snuff box. He looked at Newman from head to foot; he looked at his daughter and then at the picture. 'Take care you don't spoil it!' he cried almost sublimely.
