There had just been illuminated, opposite the grand cascade, a model of the palace intended for the King of Rome, this palace the Emperor meant to build on the high ground of Chaillot, with the Bois de Boulogne for its park, when suddenly the storm that had been slowly gathering burst upon the heads of the vast crowd in the park.
