The last I saw of her she was hastening back to rejoin you in the courtyard of the Palazzo Caffarelli." "Impossible!" cried Miriam, starting. "Then did you not see her again?" inquired Kenyon, in some alarm. "Not there," answered Miriam quietly; "indeed, I followed pretty closely on the heels of the rest of the party.
"Why did you not ask Caffarelli afterwards?" "I dared not, because I should have betrayed myself to him." Prony says that Buonaparte was not obstinate in his own opinion with men of science about those things of which he was ignorant; but he would bear no contradiction in tactics or politics. May 29. Madame Recamier has no more taken the veil than I have, and is as little likely to do it.
At this time Caffarelli had accumulated a great fortune, purchased a dukedom, and built a splendid palace at San Dorato, from which he derived his ducal title.

Shortly before he expired he said to me, "My dear Bourrienne, be so good as to read to me Voltaire's preface to 'Esprit des Lois'." When I returned to the tent of the General-in-Chief he asked, "How is Caffarelli?" I replied, "He is near his end; but he asked me to read him Voltaire's preface to the 'Esprit de Lois', he has just fallen asleep."
