most attached was Duroc。 'He loves me the same as a dog loves his
master;' is the phrase he made use of in speaking of him to me。 He
compared Berthier's sentiment for his person to that of a child's
nurse。 Far from being opposed to his theory of the motives
influencing men these sentiments were its natural consequence whenever
he came across sentiments to which he could not apply the theory of
calculation based on cold interest; he sought the cause of it in a
kind of instinct。〃

〃If there is any peculiar characteristic of this monarchy; it is the
free and easy access of the subjects to the king; it an egalité de
justice between both; and which; so to say; maintains both in a genial
and honest companionship; in spite of the almost infinite distance in
birth; rank; and power。 This agreeable society; which enables persons
of the Court to associate familiarly with us; impresses them and
charms them more than one can tell。〃

When he smiled; it was only with the mouth and a portion of the
cheeks; the brow and eyes remained immovably sombre; 。 。 。 This

frightful。〃 … On one occasion; at St。 Cloud; Varnhagen heard him

her name to him: 'Good God; they told me you were pretty!' To some old
persons: 'You haven't long to live! To another lady: 'It is a fine
time for you; now your husband is on his campaigns!' In general; the
tone of Bonaparte was that of an ill…bred lieutenant。 He often
invited a dozen or fifteen persons to dinner and rose from the table
before the soup was finished。。。 The court was a regular galley where
each rowed according to command。〃

the Queen of Naples; January 2; 1805: 〃Let your Majesty listen to what
I predict。 On the first war breaking out; of which she might be the
cause; she and her children will have ceased to reign; her children

begging help from their relations。〃
'97' 37th bulletin; announcing the march of an army on Naples 〃to

woman; who; with such shamelessness; has violated all that men hold
sacred。〃 … Proclamation of May 13; 1809: 〃Vienna; which the princes of
the house of Lorraine have abandoned; not as honorable soldiers
yielding to circumstances and the chances of war; but as perjurers
pursued by remorse。 。 。 。 In flying from Vienna their adieus to its
inhabitants consisted of murder and fire。 Like Medea; they have
sacrificed their children with their own hands。〃 … 13th bulletin: 〃The
rage of the house of Lorraine against the city of Vienna;〃
'98' Letter to the King of Spain; Sept。 18; 1803; and a note to the
