I got a good laugh out of this!! I was transported back to Modern Art History class at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas for a moment!
aicarrie1Not the whole time, but they did have le pneumatique, which was a faster version of the mail: write out your message, walk a block or two and send it to the nearest office by pneumatic tube. They would hand deliver it. You could get four or five exchanges a day that way, instead of just two mail deliveries. Now extinct, of course. Electronics.

The names Manet and Monet could have been derived from menat, the hieroglyphic for the Egyptian Goddess, Hathor..

Kinda like the criminal who almost got away with stealing paintings from the Louvre, until he was caught when his van ran out of gas.
He had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.
