"Mary had a little lamb," said the poet. "I shall imitate Mary." Charles and the Senator thought the remark undignified. After dinner, however, under the mellowing influence of some excellent Roederer, Charles began to expand again, and grew lively and anecdotal.
They declared that it was illegal for soldiers to enter the hall, as indeed it was; yet without them the princes must at the last moment have been exposed to all the fury of the mob. At this critical moment Roederer showed both fidelity and presence of mind.
Of those who deliberated concerning the restoration or exclusion of Christianity, and the acceptance or rejection of the concordat, Fouche, Francois de Nantz, Roederer, and Sieges were for the religion of Nature; Volney, Real, Chaptal, Bourrienne, and Lucien Bonaparte for atheism; and Portalis, Gregoire, Cambaceres, Lebrun, Talleyrand, Joseph and Napoleon Bonaparte for Christianity.
Roederer in his memoirs relates pretty much the same thing, only that it bears on the question of title, and presumably the researches for confirmation of his royal descent. Here again, his strong practical view of things, and his utter indifference to grandeur or genealogical distinction, are shown.
Roederer has belonged to all religious or antireligious sects, and to all political or anti-social factions, these last twenty years; but, after approving, applauding, and serving them, he has deserted them, sold them, or betrayed them.
Lucien Bonaparte, and later Chaptal, became Minister of the Interior, Gaudin controlled Finance, Forfait the Navy, and Fouché the Police. The Council of State was organized in the following sections; that of War, which was presided over by General Brune: Marine, by Admiral Gantheaume: Finance, by Defermon: Legislation, by Boulay de la Meurthe: the Interior, by Roederer.
In a short space he gathered around him the malcontents whom the frequent crises had deprived of office, Roederer, Admiral Bruix, Réal, Cambacérès, and, above all, Talleyrand.
Roederer, M. Rohan, Cardinal Prince de. Roland, Madame, urging secret assassinations of the king and queen; and Robespierre; death of. Romenf, M. "Rose of the North," a name given to the Countess de Fersen. Rosenburg, Count de. Rousseau, Jean Jacques. Royal family, the, preparing to escape; arrested; authority suspended. Royalists, the name first used as a reproach.
Well, sir, were I a subject of Grunewald I should pray heaven to set upon the seat of government just such another as yourself. 'The devil you would! exclaimed the Prince. The licentiate Roederer laughed most heartily. 'I thought I should astonish you, he said. 'These are not the ideas of the masses. 'They are not, I can assure you, Otto said.
But he still reserved the right of adopting the son of Louis and of thus favouring his chances of priority. Indeed, it must be admitted that the Emperor at this difficult crisis showed conjugal tact and affection, for which he has received scant justice at the hands of Josephine's champions. "How could I divorce this good wife," he said to Roederer, "because I am becoming great?"
