Monsieur le Ministre What a misfortune Monsieur Collard If there were no eminent men like Your Excellency to replace him! Vaudrey bowed without replying. "What is the name of that gentleman?" said he as soon as he entered his cabinet, to the usher who followed him. "I always find him, but I cannot recognize him." "He! Monsieur le Ministre?

There is only a certain amount of money in the world, Monsieur le Ministre, and we bankers usually know where it is. I do not mean the money that the world pours into its own stomach.
"Un tel qu'on vantait Par hasard etait D'origine assez minoe; Par hasard il plut, Par hasard il fut Baron, ministre, et prince."
