About this book
His Excellency the Minister is a book by Jules Claretie. The front matter says that this edition has been completely translated by Henri Roberts. The dedication to Alphonse Daudet says that ideas sometimes float about in the air like the pollen of flowers, and that the writer has been at work for years past collecting notes for this book.
One scene describes little girls, all of them thin and in short skirts, who were already pirouetting and humming airs. The text says Sulpice had often heard the greenroom of the ballet spoken about, and was at once completely disillusioned. One written note guarantees Monsieur Adolphe Gochard a bill of exchange at three months, if he agrees to advance that amount to Mademoiselle Dujarrier, who will hand it to Mademoiselle Marianne Kayser. The text has a woman enter the carriage that was waiting for her below, in Rue Chaussée-d'Antin.
