When Calonne neked Veatris upon what terms he would accept an engagement at the Theatre Royal the great dancer demanded a hundred thousand francs a year. The Minister ex- clamed against the exorbitance of subha sum, and, by way of adding polat to his remonstrances, observed that the King did not pay his marshala at no high a rate; upon which Vestris replied that that was no concern of his, and that Calonne might tell His Majesty "ho had only to make his marshals dance.". In conformity with that suggestion it may be urged that, if Prims Ministers and others of high degree desire to have the emoluments of jockeys, all they have to do is to turn jookeys.
