Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paris Chit-Chat, or a View of the Society, Manners, Customs, Literature, and Amusements of the Parisians, Vol. 2: Being a Translation of "Guillaume Le Franc-Parleur," and a Sequel to the "Paris Spectator"
Passing before a coffee-house in the Palais Royal, d'apreville recollected that he had not breakfasted: he entered; scalded his month by the furious haste with which he swallowed a cup of chocolate, and ran to the Minister's audience. It was over. But, Sir, said he to the door-keeper, how is that possible? The audiences of M. De Rocheporn, the intend ant of our province, were always from twelve to two; and no man in this kingdom knew the customs of the court better, or followed them more exactly. That may be all very true, Sir; but it is not less true that those of Mon seigneur are at nine in the morning: it '5 custom he has long observed, and he has 'f taken care to make the public acquainted with it. I was not acquainted 'with it.
