No doubt we all have someone else inside us, thought the Narrator, though, to tell the truth, I've never felt this with anyone but Fanny. And if I examine my conscience, the Narrator went on, I know that I myself am that character, the writer's secret twin, the one writing this story and the stranger within.

But unlike this blonde-haired woman hiding behind her curtain, I work. When my master cries out to me for a story, even if I'm accustomed to not answering him at once, playing hard to get because I'm not servile, I always respond in the end because I would get bored otherwise and because it's my role in life.
