They shook hands with me; and said that they could not deny but that there was reason in my view of the matter. And although they themselves must be the losers which was a handsome thing to say they would wait until I was a little older and more aware of my own value.

The Aile Montpensier, which follows on from the edifice which houses the Comédie Française, was, until recently, occupied by the Cour des Comptes. The Aile de Valois fronts the street of that name, and here the Princes d'Orleans and King Jerome made their residence.

The Princes were doubtless informed beforehand on the subject by the private correspondence.
