To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first speech the President addressed to the Chamber and the Senate was in the same spirit as his former utterances. " France, " he said in his message, " must be great and strong, in the interests of civilisation and of peace. What we need above all is energy. " His first public acts showed that he himself meant to set a good example in materialising this spirit of energy. He broke with the tradition which imposes great reserve on the President of the Republic, paid visits, accepted an imme...nse number of invitations, and lost no opportunity of show- ing himself to the Parisians, of displaying his brilliant gift of oratory and being feted and acclaimed. His behaviour was more that of a monarch than the quiet life of a President, and did not fail to have the expected effect on the populace. Thus he rapidly gained what he aspired to above all, popularity ; his admirers increased in number from day to day, they looked on him as the leader of the nation, who would 11 162 THE MEMOIRS OF AN AMBASSADOR manage to uphold its dignity under all circum- stances, as the statesman who would succeed in securing France an important and honoured position among the Powers, most likely even among the Great Powers, and understand how to retrieve her losses, in addition to restoring her high prestige.
