Crabot, a little man with the profile of a weasel, slowly mounted the box beside the coachman, and the Commissioner of Police took his seat next to Lissac, who had nervously plucked the rosette of the Portuguese Order of Christ from his buttonhole. "What!" he said. "Really, then, it is for this? Because I wear this ribbon without having paid five or six louis into the Chancellery?
James, the page who guarded the outer walls, of the chancellery, appeared in the doorway. "Please, Sir, a person," he announced, "with a note for the Ambassador, he says it's important." "Tell him to leave it," said the Secretary. "Polo ponies " "Yes, Sir," interrupted the page. "But 'e won't leave it, not unless he keeps the 'arf-crown."
The whole of the chancellery had to accompany the emperor, and all the transport necessary for the feeding of the emperor and his government had continually to be diverted to wherever he happened to be staying. All this produced disorder and unrest.
His friend De la Boissiere he appointed his Minister of Foreign Affairs, and established in a Chancellery at 217 West Thirty-sixth Street, New York, and from there was issued a sort of circular, or prospectus, written by the king, and signed by "Le Grand Chancelier, Secretaire d'Etat pour les Affaires Etrangeres, M. le Comte de la Boissiere."

"I have a very nice room which is in the most immaculate order imaginable I am never in it. Next to it I have what is called my 'chancellery' which has an immense big writing table, another table, three chairs, bells and excellent light and telephone. I spend most of the time in it when I am not going the rounds on a rampage. I like to know that my food costs only 15 cents a day."
'Oh nay, she answered; 'you shall get yourself into the Chancellery, and merry will we feast and devise beneath the gilded roofs. Her eyes sought the brown beams that ceiled the long room. 'I have heard that chancellors have always gilded roofs. Again the tenderness overcame him for the touch of simple pride in her voice. And the confession slipped from his lips: 'Poor befooled soul!
