After a long pause of painful silence, the Emperor mournfully left the man for whom he felt, perhaps, the liveliest sympathy and affection he ever bestowed. Under Duroc's cold, reserved exterior the Emperor knew that there beat a true heart, devoted and loyal ever since they had first met at Toulon.
Now, since last Christmas ninety-six German and seventy-one Italian authors have inscribed their works to His Majesty, and been rewarded for it; while during the same period only sixty-six Frenchmen have presented their offerings to their Sovereign." For my part I think Duroc's conclusion tolerably just.
Citizen Fesch created Cardinal Fesch Arts and industry Exhibition in the Louvre Aspect of Paris in 1802 The Medicean Venus and the Velletrian Pallas Signs of general prosperity Rise of the funds Irresponsible Ministers The Bourbons The military Government Annoying familiarity of Lannes Plan laid for his disgrace Indignation of Lannes His embassy to Portugal The delayed despatch Bonaparte's rage I resign my situation Duroc I breakfast with Bonaparte Duroc's intercession Temporary reconciliation.
It is said here that Duroc's journey to Berlin was merely to demand a passage for the French troops through the Prussian territory in Franconia, and to prevent the Russian troops from passing through the Prussian territory in Poland. This request is such as might have been expected from our Emperor and his Minister.
When I told her, in a whisper, that I had got a letter for her, she would immediately leave off playing and run to her chamber, where I followed and gave her Duroc's epistle. When she opened it her eyes would fill with tears, and it was some time before she could return to the salon. All was useless for her. Josephine required a support in the family against the family.
But perhaps there was some explanation which she would make to her friends, though she had withheld it from Mademoiselle Duroc. Anne was summoned and came tripping into the room. Her face clouded when she saw the jewels in Mademoiselle Duroc's hand and the grave, questioning faces of her friends. "Don't ask me about those, please, dear Mrs. Patterson," she entreated.
Duroc's answer satisfied me that he at least had no doubt on the subject. "Besides," added he, "when such a general as Moreau has been between two gendarmes he is lost, and is good for nothing more. He will only inspire pity."

The First Consul probably paid this compliment to Duroc in the belief that the marriage would take place. During Duroc's absence the correspondence of the lovers passed, by their consent, through my hands. Every night I used to make one in a party at billiards, at which Hortense played very well.
Besides, he had just grounds of offence against the Emperor. Although the latter had given him Hanover in exchange for the two Margravates, he had, nevertheless, offered to England the restoration of that province as one of the terms of the negotiations commenced with Mr. Fox. This underhand work was not unknown to the Berlin Cabinet, and Napoleon's duplicity rendered Duroc's mission useless.
