Prima poveste e despre o dragoste târzie la Paris. A doua despre îngerii de lângă noi. În cea de-a treia veți simți un puternic miros de terebentină, iar în a patra, parfum de crini regali. A cincea vă aduce în auz un nume care zgârie și unul care mângâie. Prima poveste are miză și pariază pe nenoroc. A doua cade din fantastic în lumea noastră cea de toate zilele. A treia are realism, râs, nerv. A patra inocență, umor, visare. A cincea, cu ironie, face poezie și economie (politică).
