further talking. Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to
them and they worked a plan. The first would enter the shop and make an offer,
lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out.
Shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. In this
way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the
last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price.
Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three
persons made and trust to luck. The plan worked--- Balzac got the vase at his
price!
