It is not they who choose it

It is not they who choose it, it is he. They are only too happy to let him do it, and even for that need an introduction. Mme B., a personage of the Bean Mounde and elegant to boot, went to him last month to order a dress. "Madame", he said,"Bye whom are you presented?" "I don't understand." "I'm afraid you must be presented in order to be dressed by me"

I would like to get clear meaning of these sentence. "it is not they who choose it, it is he." and "even for that need an introcution" can you write them in another form. and what is "Mme B", "Bean mounde" and "elegant to boot".

with all these thing the paragraph really difficult for me to understand.

even for that need an introduction. This implies that 'they' are timid, or cowardly, or lazy. So let 'him' do it. But I am not sure without more text.
