Memorable quotes
Victor Grandet: [in a letter read
by his brother Pere Grandet] My dear brother, After twenty years, I am sending
my son to you for by the time this letter reached you, I shall be no more. My
entire fortune has been swept away by speculation on the stock market. I owe
millions. In three days all Paris will say I was a rogue and I shall be wrapped
in a winding sheet of infamy. My dying prayer is that you will be a father to
my boy and may God bless you as you fulfill this trust. Your despairing
brother, Victor Grandet.
