Honoré de Balzac & Sheba Blake 
A Man of Business 

Though a relatively short story, ‘A Man of Business’ is an important component of Honore de Balzac’s vast story cycle The Human Comedy, involving many of the recurring characters from the series and tying up a number of loose ends. As a fete thrown at the home of his mistress begins to wind down, Cardot invites the lingering merrymakers to settle around the table and begins telling a story about a clever debt-collection scheme.
