She comes out with 80,000 francs in cash. In her bag. Once back to the house it is 8 am. The landlord is there for inventory and paperwork. She''s exhausted. By any chance he would be selling the house, she asks. He says yes, 80,000 francs would do. It did not. Françoise Sagan remained there for the rest of her life.
