- ↑ Proust, concerned about the "derisory and ridiculously Lilliputian" sum of the commission charged by Hauser (CP 03186; Kolb, XV, no. 122), Hauser had replied to him that he would not change his fees "according to the whims of the client or his social standing" but that he would appreciate it if Proust would recommend his services to certain of his friends: "Since from our recent written exchanges it appears that among your closest friends you count people who are weighed down with a certain quantity of millions, you could perhaps reveal my existence to them, and inform them that it would be in their interest to make use of my agency to invest their funds." (CP 03187; Kolb, XV, no. 123). [CSz]
