Quote context

[...]

- Come, come now. Let me hear you play the opening movement in the third act of Marta.

- It's no use, Maestro. Something has happened to the fingers of my left hand.

- But you played that lullaby perfectly.

- It's a simple melody, Maestro. That's why I played it.

- You were trying to fool me, eh, Claudin?

- Well, perhaps it's only temporary. Perhaps it'll get better.

- I hope so, but in the meantime...

- You know, Claudin, the aim of the Paris Opera is perfection.

- I'm sorry, old fellow. Very sorry. You've been with us a long time, haven't you?

- Twenty years.

- What am I to do, Maestro?

- I know it's hard, Claudin.

- No doubt you've saved a tidy little fortune to retire on.

- Yes, of course.

- In appreciation of your long service, I shall arrange with the directors to have a season ticket issued to you.

- Thank you, Maestro.
