From this time the Empress was a firm friend of Madame Gazani, who accompanied her to Malmaison and Navarre. What increased the kind feelings of the Empress for this lady was that she thought her distressed by the Emperor's inconstancy.
The Emperor's liaison with Madame Gazani lasted nearly a year, but they met only at long intervals. The following instance of jealousy is not as personal to me as that which I have just related.
