It came upon us almost with the darkness of night; the trees, which were close at hand, were completely shrouded by the roaring torrents of rain. We were sitting in the tent, when Delorier, with his broad felt hat hanging about his ears, and his shoulders glistening with rain, thrust in his head. "Voulez-vous du souper, tout de suite? I can make a fire, sous la charette I b'lieve so I try."
"Dere is noting like a good souper," remarked Marcelle Dumont, the blacksmith, extending his burly form on the grass the more thoroughly to enjoy his pipe. "Shames Tougall," said Donald Bane, in an undertone, and with the deliberate slowness of his race, "what does he mean by soopy?" "Tonal'," replied Dougall with equal deliberation, "ye'd petter ask his nainsel'."
In appetite, they would cope with an English ploughman, who had just turned up an acre of wholesome land on an empty stomach. Now, though a the may be considered as a substitute for a supper, it cannot, in point of agreeableness, be compared to a petit souper. If a man must sup, and I am no advocate for regular suppers, these were the suppers to my fancy.
'Le Souper de Beaucaire' is given at full length in the French edition of these Memoirs, tome i. pp. 319-347; and by Iung, tome ii. p. 354, with the following remarks: "The first edition of 'Le Souper de Beaucaire' was issued at the cost of the Public Treasury, in August 1798. This pamphlet did not make any sensation at the time it appeared.
What a difference between Bonaparte, the author of the 'Souper de Beaucaire', the subduer of royalism at Toulon; the author of the remonstrance to Albitte and Salicetti, the fortunate conqueror of the 13th Vendemiaire, the instigator and supporter of the revolution of Fructidor, and the founder of the Republics of Italy, the fruits of his immortal victories, and Bonaparte, First Consul in 1800, Consul for life in 1802, and, above all, Napoleon, Emperor of the French in 1804, and King of Italy in 1805!
An English family of our acquaintance, who had settled at Aix, and who wished to see company, imagined, naturally, that it would be necessary to go through all the tedious process of preliminary introductions, which are necessary in England. A French friend was consulted upon the subject, and his advice was as simple as it was effectual: "Donnez un souper, cela fera courir tout le monde."
Bonaparte enters the Military College of Paris He urges me to embrace the military profession His report on the state of the Military School of Paris He obtains a commission I set off for Vienna Return to Paris, where I again meet Bonaparte His singular plans for raising money Louis XVI, with the red cap on his head The 10th of August My departure for Stuttgart Bonaparte goes to Corsica My name inscribed on the list of emigrants Bonaparte at the siege of Toulon Le Souper de Beaucaire Napoleon's mission to Genoa His arrest His autographical justification Duroc's first connection with Bonaparte.
This little pamphlet contains principles very opposite to those he wished to see established in 1800, a period when extravagant ideas of liberty were no longer the fashion, and when Bonaparte entered upon a system totally the reverse of those republican principles professed in 'Le Souper de Beaucaire. The latter, though he takes a share in the conversation, does not say much.
I've seen those boys lead the league till the end of August and then be nosed out." "True enough," said the butler sadly. "Matty's in shape." "He is? The old souper working well?" "Like a machine. He shut out the Cubs the day before I sailed!" "Fine!" At this point an appreciation of the unusualness of the proceedings began to steal upon Mr. Pett. He gaped at this surprising servitor.
