By the way, as far as I remember, when writing The Three Musketeers, Dumas was paid for the number of lines (like some programmers). Therefore, he specifically came up with monosyllabic characters with a bunch of stingy dialogues, for example, Grimaud Athos's servant.
In the end, the writer was told that lines that took up less than half a column would not be paid. Then he even thought about removing Grimaud from the story.
But ten years later, the writer was paid for the number of words - and Grimaud became more talkative. So the French trace is confirmed, and this problem can also be called "Dumas syndrome" π²
