"The General Comptroller of Finance, Monsieur de Silhouette, had the curious habit of drawing profiles of his guests on the walls of his castle. He had been unable to carry out his reforms. At court, everyone laughed. His reforms are nothing but poorly traced shadows! To the Silhouette! Evil tongues, unknowingly and maliciously, made this brave Stephen of Silhouette popular for posterity!"
