MY social career once begun, its duties took up all my time. I barely was able to find a moment, of a morning, in which to visit the museums and studios. I had met M. Denon. He had exquisite taste, delightful good-humour, and was obliging beyond measure. He was good enough to escort me to the Louvre, which at that time was enriched by works of art captured from Italy. A few days after, the amiable director invited me to luncheon in order to show me his little private museum a collection of valu...able arti- cles he had gathered in all countries, especially in Egypt. He was very proud of a little mummy's foot, which was so attractive, so dainty, and so nicely oxidised by time that there was a temptation to steal it, to make a paper-weight of it.
