I sent home the baron in my carriage, after thanking him for his services, and begging him to be my companion early and late while I stayed at Grenoble a re quest which he granted excepting for those days on which he was on duty. At supper I had given him my bill of exchange on Zappata, which I endorsed with the name de Seingalt, which Madame d'Urfe had given me. He discounted it for me next day.
From Grenoble to Paris Napoleon found no further opposition. During the four days of his stay at Lyons, where he had arrived on the 10th, there were continually upwards of 20,000 people assembled before his windows; whose acclamations were unceasing. It would never have been supposed that the Emperor had even for a moment been absent from the, country.
For the sake of that past, and for dread of the future, he must go go from whence he could not again return, and Bobby Clyffurde remembering Grenoble, remembering Lyons, Villefranche and Nevers could not altogether suppress a sigh of regret for the brave man, the fine genius, the reckless adventurer who had so boldly scaled for the second time the heights of the Capitol, oblivious of the fact that the Tarpeian Rock was so dangerously near.
"Vive l'Empereur!" was cried in the barracks and "Vive l'Empereur!" at the street corners. A squadron of Hussars had marched into Grenoble from Vienne just before noon: the same squadron which a few months ago at a revue by the Comte d'Artois in the presence of the King had shouted "Vive l'Empereur!" What faith could be put in their loyalty now?
When Wagner met Berlioz he heaved a sigh of relief he had at last found a man more unhappy than himself. On the threshold of death he turned in despair to the one ray of light left him Stella montis, the inspiration of his childish love; Estelle, now old, a grandmother, withered by age and grief. He made a pilgrimage to Meylan, near Grenoble, to see her.
The next moment these three men were at the feet of their beloved hero. "Sire," said Dumoulin the glovemaker, "in the name of the citizens of Grenoble we hereby offer you our services and one hundred thousand francs collected in the last twenty-four hours for your use." "I accept both," replied the Emperor, while he grasped vigorously the hands of his three most devoted friends. St.
"I mean that Fourier has left Grenoble in the trail of Marchand, and that two days ago unless I'm very much mistaken he disposed of the money." "Disposed of the money? You are mad, de Marmont." "Not altogether, Sire. When I say that Fourier disposed of the Empress' money I only mean that he deposited it in what he would deem a safe place."
Their provincial assemblies and their national synods were, from 1611 to 1621, effective promoters of this tendency, which before long became a formal and organized design; at Saumur, at Tonneins, at Privas, at Grenoble, at Loudun, at La Rochelle, the language, the movements, and the acts of the party took more and more the character of armed resistance, and, ere long, of civil war; the leaders, old and new.
One evening when the sails flapped idly and the blocks rattled, when they had been watching in silence the flaming orange of the sunset above the amethystine Camden hills, he spoke the words for which she had been waiting. "Honora, what do you say to going back to Grenoble?" She succeeded in smiling at him. "Whenever you like, Hugh," she said.
Pierre de Chartreuse and sped on towards Grenoble, through a landscape markedly different from that of Savoie. In Savoie everything is done lavishly, on a large scale. The eye roams over spaces of noble amplitude, expressing strength in repose. Dauphiné is livelier and daintier; more lovable, too.
