On entering his Majesty's chamber he made a deep bow, and stood much embarrassed. "It surely cannot be you who made shoes for me at the l'ecole militaire?" "No, your Majesty, Emperor and King, it was my father." "And why don't he do so now?" "Sire, the Emperor and King, because he is dead." "How much do you make me pay for my shoes?"
