[ It's a nice story. It's also one that gives Yseult far too much credit. If Bastien was willing to sacrifice the job for idealism, it wouldn't have been because of some pretty words (even assuming, of course, that the words were pretty; Yseult isn't much of a sweet-talker). It would have been because he was already on the point of that decision and just needed an excuse to tip over it. A butterfly's moment of change is not when it emerges from the cocoon; the change is that process over those long weeks, beginning at the start of the cocoon-building process.

But a nice story - Well, it's more fun to tell a nice story than it is to tell an accurate one. ]


And to be fair, have you ever met a truly happy rich man?
