The long clear windows for there are no more stained-glass windows at Rheims let in bright daylight; all the light of May was in the church. The Archbishop was covered with gilding and the altar with rays. Marshal de Lauriston, Minister of the King's Household, rejoiced at the sunshine. He came and went, as busy as could be, and conversed in low tones with Lecointe and Hittorf, the architects.
He motioned to Lauriston to put his money in his pocket. "Glad to see your letters turned up," he whispered as they went downstairs. "I say! a word in your ear don't you tell these here police chaps any more than you need I'll stand up for you."
Our usual actors were Eugene BEAUHARNAIS, Hortense, Madame Murat, Lauriston, M. Didelot, one of the prefects of the Palace, some other individuals belonging to the First Consul's household, and myself.
"You'll see a shop there with Daniel Multenius over it. He's a relation o' mine he'll do what you want. Mention my name, if you like. He'll deal fair with you. And if you ever want to sell, don't forget me." Lauriston laughed, and went down the stairs, and out into the dismal evening.

The field where the volunteers had drilled was built upon almost up to the windows of the house.
Madame Bonaparte rode in the carriage with her husband; General Moncey, Inspector-general of the Constabulary, on horseback on the right; in the second carriage was General Soult and his aides-de-camp; in the third carriage, General Bessieres and M. de Lugay; in the fourth, General Lauriston; then came the carriages of the personal attendants, Hambard, Hebert, and I being in the first.
"How much have you earned by your pen since you came, now?" "About thirty pounds." "Thirty pounds in two years. What have you lived on, then?" "I had money of my own," replied Lauriston. "I had two hundred pounds when I left home." "And that gave out when?" demanded Mr. Parminter. "Last week." "And so you took your watch to the pawnshop.
Affecting a wish for peace, he was about secretly to meet Napoleon's envoy, Lauriston, when the Russian generals and our commissioner, Sir R. Wilson, intervened, and required that it should be a public step.
How many events had occurred since that time. The Emperor, seeing that nothing could longer delay the resumption of hostilities, had consequently divided the two hundred thousand men of his infantry into fourteen army corps, the command of which was given to Marshals Victor, Ney, Marmont, Augereau, Macdonald, Oudinot, Davoust, and Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Prince Poniatowski, and Generals Reynier, Rapp, Lauriston, Vandamme, and Bertrand.
