Merely to see him would have been enough to tell you that Beaumarchais' Figaro, Moliere's Mascarille, Marivaux's Frontin, and Dancourt's Lafleur those great representatives of audacious swindling, of cunning driven to bay, of stratagem rising again from the ends of its broken wires were all quite second-rate by comparison with this giant of cleverness and meanness.
