About this book
France from Behind the Veil describes fifty years of social and political life, as stated in its subtitle. The account describes Princess Mathilde presiding at entertainments at Compiègne and the Elysée, where the Prince President resided when in the capital. The account relates Mathilde's declaration that she would carry the new Empress's train if the Emperor asked her, causing astonishment and perhaps scandal among those who heard.
The discussion of Gambetta describes a misunderstanding that perhaps influenced relations towards the end of his life and attributes the misunderstanding to circumstances rather than either person's will. The discussion presents France as a country where, in the writer's view, Socialism is rampant yet has the least chance of seizing control.
