[73] M. de Metternich， I.， 284. "One of those to whom he seemed the most attached was Duroc. 'He loves me the same as a dog loves his master，' is the phrase he made use of in speaking of him to me. He compared Berthier's sentiment for his person to that of a child's nurse. Far from being opposed to his theory of the motives influencing men these sentiments were its natural consequence whenever he came across sentiments to which he could not apply the theory of calculation based on cold interest， he sought the cause of it in a kind of instinct."[74] Beugnot， "Mémoires，" II.， 59.
[75] "Mémorial." "If I had returned victorious from Moscow， I would have brought the Pope not to regret temporal power： I would have converted him into an idol. . . I would have directed the religious world as well as the political world. . . My councils would have represented Christianity， and the Pope would have only been president of them."[76] De Ségur， III.， 312. (In Spain， 1809.)[77] "Mémoires du Prince Eugène."

[80] Words of Napoleon to Marmont， who， after three months in the hospital， returns to him in Spain with a broken arm and his hand in a black sling： "You hold on to that rag then？" Sainte-Beuve， who loves the truth as it really is， quotes the words as they came， which Marmont dared not reproduce. (Causeries du Lundi， VI.， 16.) -"Souvenirs"， by Pasquier， Librarie Plon， Paris 1893： "M. de Champagny having been dismissed and replaced， a courageous friend defended him and insisted on his merit： "You are right，" said the Emperor， "he had some when I took him； but by cramming him too full， I have made him stupid."[81] Beugnot， I.， 456， 464[82] Mme. de Rémusat， II.， 272.

"If there is any peculiar characteristic of this monarchy， it is the free and easy access of the subjects to the king； it an egalité de justice between both， and which， so to say， maintains both in a genial and honest companionship， in spite of the almost infinite distance in birth， rank， and power. This agreeable society， which enables persons of the Court to associate familiarly with us， impresses them and charms them more than one can tell."[87] Madame de Rémusat， II.， 32， 39.

When he smiled， it was only with the mouth and a portion of the cheeks； the brow and eyes remained immovably sombre， . . . This compound of a smile with seriousness had in it something terrible and frightful." - On one occasion， at St. Cloud， Varnhagen heard him exclaim over and over again， twenty times， before a group of ladies， "How hot！"[92] Mme. de Rémusat， II.， 77， 169. - Thibaudeau， " Mémoires sur le Consulat，" p. 18： "He sometimes pays them left-handed compliments on their toilet or adventures， which was his way of censuring morals." -"Mes souvenirs sur Napoléon，" 322 by le Comte Chaptal： "At a fête， in the H？tel de Ville， he exclaimed to Madame ----， who had just given her name to him： 'Good God， they told me you were pretty！' To some old persons： 'You haven't long to live！ To another lady： 'It is a fine time for you， now your husband is on his campaigns！' In general， the tone of Bonaparte was that of an ill-bred lieutenant. He often invited a dozen or fifteen persons to dinner and rose from the table before the soup was finished... The court was a regular galley where each rowed according to command."[93] Madame de Rémusat， I.， 114， 122， 206； II.， 110， 112.

[95] "Hansard's Parliamentary History，" vol. XXXVI.， .3I0. Lord Whitworth's dispatch to Lord Hawkesbury， March 14， 1803， and account of the scene with Napoleon. "All this took place loud enough for the two hundred persons present to hear it."- Lord Whitworth (dispatch of March 17) complains of this to Talleyrand and informs him that he shall discontinue his visits to the Tuileries unless he is assured that similar scenes shall not occur again. - Lord Hawkesbury approves of this (dispatch of March 27)， and declares that the proceeding is improper and offensive to the King of England. - Similar scenes， the same conceit and intemperate language， with M. de Metternich， at Paris， in 1809， also at Dresden， in 1813： again with Prince Korsakof， at Paris， in 1812； with M. de Balachof， at Wilna， in 1812， and with Prince Cardito， at Milan， in 1805.
