She abhors you as much as I do. 'But if I were to pardon you would you be grateful for my mercy? 'I would nevertheless kill you if I could. "I never," continued Rapp, "saw Napoleon look so confounded. The replies of Staps and his immovable resolution perfectly astonished him.
We should be benighted, of course. Also I fancy there is a storm coming up. But if you wish to make the attempt " "I was only wondering," she said quietly, "if we could get an evening train to Staps. That, I know, is on the main line. You could put up there, and I could take the night train to town." "Oh, quite so," said Nap. "Shall we have tea before we start?"
From that moment many people regarded him as predestined, and said that the hand of God was upon him. Meanwhile political events were developing themselves around the boy, and their seriousness made him a man before the age of manhood. Napoleon weighed upon Germany like another Sennacherib. Staps had tried to play the part of Mutius Scaevola, and had died a martyr.
The more I think on the subject the more I am perplexed. I never can believe that a young man of his age, a German, one who has received a good education, a Protestant too, could have conceived and attempted such a crime.

Write to General Lauer: direct him to interrogate Staps. Tell him to bring him to a confession. "I wrote conformably with the Emperor's orders, but no confession was obtained from Staps. In his examination by General Lauer he repeated nearly what he had said in the presence of Napoleon.
She abhors you as much as I do. 'But if I were to pardon you would you be grateful for my mercy? 'I would nevertheless kill you if I could. "I never," continued Rapp, "saw Napoleon look so confounded. The replies of Staps and his immovable resolution perfectly astonished him.
"The Emperor here ordered Corvisart to be sent for. Staps asked who Corvisart was? I told him that he was a physician. He then said, 'I have no need of him. Nothing further was said until the arrival of the doctor, and during this interval Steps evinced the utmost indifference.
