In passage from journal kept in his youth, Daniel Halevy relates events of a charming dinner party given on December 29, 1895. Among guests was Edgar Degas (a regular at Halevy household until their break over Dreyfus affair) together with various members of family, including Jules Taschereau and his daughter Henriette, Madame Niaudet and her daughter Mathilde. After dinner Degas went to get his camera, at which point, Halkvy tells us, the pleasure part of evening was over, and the duty part of evening began, while everyone submitted to Degas's fierce will, his artist's ferocity. During this period in mid-'90s inviting Degas to dinner meant, it seems, two hours of military obedience. Here is Halkvy's description of posing session that evening
