A lovely word from Dumas père
The night of the first performance of The Lady of the Camelias, Alexandre Dumas was enjoying the success of his son.
During the intermission, a friend came to greet him, and, thinking he would flatter him, said:
"Are you in the play... You must have had something to do with it?"
"I should think so," replied Dumas, "I made the author."
