The only shadow over my pleasure at spending my evenings in the Rue Valois du Roule was the fact that this necessitated my missing some acts at the Theatre Francais, for which the Danish Minister, through the Embassy, had procured me a free pass. Certainly no Dane was ever made so happy by the favour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
