The assurance was at the same time repeated, possibly in a tone of considerable satisfaction, that when Napoleon really should revoke his decrees Great Britain was ready, as she always had been, to follow his example with her orders.

She loved a thorough-paced partner, a determined enemy. She took, and gave, no concessions. She hated favours.
