The Mustache Page #2

"The Mustache" is a short story by Guy de Maupassant that explores themes of identity, perception, and the nuances of social interactions. The narrative follows a man who grows a mustache and is surprised by the way it transforms both his appearance and the way others perceive him. This seemingly trivial change leads to profound reflections on self-image, societal expectations, and the complexities of human relationships. Maupassant's incisive wit and keen observations make this tale a compelling commentary on the masks people wear in society.

And I cried, oh, I cried a great deal more than I should if I had not recognized them, the poor dead fellows.

It was wrong of me to tell you this. Now I am sad and cannot chatter any longer. Well, good-by, dear Lucy. I send you a hearty kiss. Long live the mustache! JEANNE.
