If I recollect rightly, his mother was at the time on a visit to M. de Marbeuf, or some other friend. The result of Napoleon's obstinacy was, that he was kept three whole days on bread and cheese, and that cheese was not 'broccio'. However, he would not cry: he was dull, but not sulky.
"Why, broccio is the best cheese in Corsica!" "And that is why Napoleon shall not have it," replied her father. "Broccio is for good boys and girls; and Napoleon is not good." As he said this he glanced at Napoleon sharply, as if he really hoped for and expected a word of repentance, a look of entreaty. But Napoleon said nothing.
See! he who will give me the biggest slice of broccio shall have first choice for the bread, and the next biggest, the next."

Pauline looked sadly at Napoleon, and caught his hand. Then she asked her father, "But he may have a little cheese with his bread, may he not, papa?" "Well yes" her father yielded. "But only common cheese, Pauline; not broccio." Now, broccio was the favorite cheese of the Corsican children, and Pauline protested. "Oh, yes, papa! let him have broccio, papa," she said.
This put a different face on the transaction, but it added spice to the operation; and Napoleon actually succeeded in getting for his stale home bread, goodly sized pieces of fresh chestnut bread, and enough of the much-loved broccio, and bunches of luscious grapes, "to boot," to provide him with a generous meal.
