3554 | Have you not read your bulletin? |
3554 | Have you read this bulletin? |
3554 | Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3554 What are you doing there, Bourrienne? |
3554 | Where have you been? |
3554 | --"Do you imagine I do not think of it? |
3554 | --"General, need I remind you that Louis, in his letter, guarantees the contrary of all you apprehend? |

3554 | --"Well, Bourrienne, what do you say to it? |
3554 | --"Well, General, why not take means to obviate the mischief you foresee?" |
3554 | --"What is it?" |
3554 | After this, what more can be wanted? |

3554 | Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations? |
3554 | Can you see how far reaction would extend?" |
3554 | Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte? |

3554 | Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny? |
3554 | Did he do well? |
3554 | Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings? |

3554 | How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge? |

3554 | Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back? |

3554 | You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France? |
3554 | carried off? |
3554 | how could you send me such reports as these? |
3554 | how?" |
3554 | is it not good? |
3554 | was it not in your power to let them escape?" |
3553 | Did he speak about Egypt? |
3553 | Have you seen him, Bourrienne? |
3553 | Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?" |
3553 | What did you go there for? |
3553 | What matters that? 3553 What will become of me,"said he,"if the English, who are cruising hereabout, should learn that I have landed in Corsica? |
3553 | What would you have, my dear? |
3553 | You are, then, decidedly going to Asia? |
3553 | --"A Chouan?" |
3553 | --"But are you sure he is against you?" |
3553 | --"What can all this mean?" |
3553 | --"Why should I be in uniform?" |
3553 | And at what a time did this disaster befall him? |
3553 | And was this not to be obtained? |
3553 | And why should he have done so? |
3553 | And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there? |
3553 | As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him? |
3553 | As he was an eyewitness, why does he not state the whole truth, and say that on her return Bonaparte refused to see her and did not see her? |
3553 | As we passed the Place Louis XV., now Louis XVI., he asked me what was doing, and what my opinion was as to the coming events? |
3553 | But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena? |
3553 | Could it be done? |
3553 | Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks? |
3553 | Could we even tell what might occur during the march? |
3553 | Do you know what passed when I took him aside? |
3553 | Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?" |
3553 | General, what security would you have?" |
3553 | Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France? |
3553 | Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me? |
3553 | How then should the news alluded to have escaped me? |
3553 | I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?" |
3553 | I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so? |
3553 | If the infected were removed, why not mention it? |
3553 | Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom? |
3553 | Is Fortune to be again brought forward here? |
3553 | Is history to be written from such documents? |
3553 | It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise? |
3553 | One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?" |
3553 | Should the prisoners be set at liberty? |
3553 | Should they be embarked? |
3553 | Should they be sent into Egypt? |
3553 | This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it? |
3553 | What did Bernadotte do? |
3553 | What do you think of that, Bourrienne?" |

3553 | When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?" |
3553 | When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?" |
3553 | Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them? |
3553 | Where were the ships?--Where could they be found? |
3553 | Who could grant them? |
3553 | Why be silent on so important an event? |
3553 | Why then should it be put upon record? |
3553 | Why this silence? |
3553 | Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?" |
3553 | With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town? |
3553 | Would it be believed? |
3553 | Would you believe it? |
3553 | Would you imagine it? |
3553 | [ 31]--[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised? |
3553 | do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion? |
3553 | to wish to hear that preface? |
3553 | what are you about?" |
3553 | would you believe it? |
3567 | , said the Emperor;to Court?" |
3567 | Ah, Monsieur, if we condemn him, how shall we be able to acquit ourselves? |
3567 | Am I;said Napoleon,"to regulate my actions by the Grand Marshal''s watch? |
3567 | And indeed what order could Marshal Ney have given? |
3567 | Bourrienne,said he,"can you imagine anything more pitiable than their system of finance? |
3567 | Bourrienne,said he,"do you still keep up your acquaintance with the Fauchers?" |
3567 | But is there none in the Guard''s chest? 3567 But,"added Reynier,"if you should persist in forcing him to resign the supreme power, whom will you put in his place?" |
3567 | Can you carry it to this point? 3567 Did he speak about Egypt?" |
3567 | Do you confess having been arrested in the place designated by the witness? |
3567 | Do you know, Bourrienne,said he,"that I have been performing the duties of professor?" |
3567 | Do you think I have time to read all your fooleries? |
3567 | Do you think,returned he,"that my heart is less French than yours? |
3567 | Had he not seduced his sisters, one after the other? |
3567 | Has my wife been saying anything more to you about the Bourbons? |
3567 | Has not your insatiable ambition brought us to this? 3567 Have you any one among your officers,"he asked,"who is well acquainted with Ragusa?" |
3567 | Have you not read your bulletin? |
3567 | Have you read this bulletin? |
3567 | Have you seen him, Bourrienne? |
3567 | How can I help it? |
3567 | How can you expect,said Napoleon,"that I can accede to such a proposition? |
3567 | How did Napoleon receive you? |
3567 | How so? |
3567 | How,said I, with thorough astonishment,"how came you to be employed in this affair? |
3567 | Is it done, Noverraz? |
3567 | Is it my fault? |
3567 | Is it really true,said the Emperor to them,"that you thought of crossing the sea in this?" |
3567 | Is, then, my power so insecure,said he,"that it may be put in peril by a single individual, and a prisoner? |
3567 | Marshal,said the Emperor, before he opened the letter,"may this be read aloud?" |
3567 | My dear Bourrienne,said he,"can you suppose that the elevated rank I have attained has altered my feelings towards you? |
3567 | Of what do you complain? |
3567 | Pray,said he,"am I not thought to be given to a belief in predestination?" |
3567 | See,said he one day,"was there ever such an inconsistency? |
3567 | Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?" |
3567 | Simpleton,said Lefebvre,"why did you not come to me? |
3567 | Sir, said the Emperor, getting more and more irritated,I have given the orders once more; why have they not been executed? |
3567 | So, Monsieur Horan,said he,"you did not leave the Empress during her malady?" |
3567 | That is not much good, is it? |
3567 | Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3567 Well, Bourrienne,"said Murat, after we had exchanged the usual courtesies,"well, what are you about now?" |
3567 | Well, Doctor,said he to him,"are you satisfied with your patient-- is he obedient enough? |
3567 | Well, Esmenard,said he,"do you still hold your place in the police?" |
3567 | Well, General,said I,"what think you of our journey? |
3567 | Well, General? |
3567 | Well,asked the latter,"have you seen Bourrienne?" |
3567 | Well,said he,"and what would you have done?" |
3567 | Well? |
3567 | What are you doing here? |
3567 | What are you doing there, Bourrienne? 3567 What can I do?" |
3567 | What did you go there for? |
3567 | What have I said? |
3567 | What is it,said he,"these babblers want? |
3567 | What is it? |
3567 | What is the matter? |
3567 | What matters that? 3567 What pamphlet is this? |
3567 | What signifies that,replied Bonaparte,"if it was necessary to the object he had in view?" |
3567 | What was the cause of that malady? |
3567 | What was the force of that army? |
3567 | What will become of me,said he,"if the English, who are cruising hereabout, should learn that I have landed in Corsica? |
3567 | What would you have, my dear? |
3567 | What,said Josephine,"can be thought of this in Paris? |
3567 | What; General, is it you? |
3567 | Where are you going? 3567 Where have you been?" |
3567 | Where is Duroc? |
3567 | Where was my head when I made that grant? |
3567 | Who could have foreseen,said he,"that after being your prisoner I should become the protector of your property? |
3567 | Why,he said, addressing me hastily,"why was not my letter delivered yesterday evening?" |
3567 | Would you believe, my dear friend, that the persons to whom I made these candid protestations laughed at my credulity? 3567 You are above these weaknesses; but what would you have? |
3567 | You are in love? 3567 You are perhaps right, sir,"said M. de Blacas,"but what could I do? |
3567 | You are, then, decidedly going to Asia? |
3567 | You remarked it, Bourrienne? |
3567 | You seem to admire him greatly,said Bonaparte to M. Lemercier;"what do you find in him so astonishing? |
3567 | You will dine with me? |
3567 | ''Do you see this man?'' |
3567 | ''Excommunicated you, my son?'' |
3567 | ''For what purpose are we come here?'' |
3567 | ''How is that?'' |
3567 | ''I know,''said I,''that your Majesty may still keep the sword drawn, but with whom, and against whom? |
3567 | ''If they do not like me to remain in France, where am I to go? |
3567 | ''Should they,''thought I,''suffer for their mother''s faults?'' |
3567 | ''Was not this well done, Bourrienne?'' |
3567 | ''Well,''said I,''since it was so very right, why did you not follow my example, and why leave me to say all?'' |
3567 | ''Well,''said the First Consul, advancing angrily towards Fouché,''will you still say that this is the Royalist party?'' |
3567 | ''What do they mean to do with me?'' |
3567 | ''What do they want with me?'' |
3567 | ''What do you suppose they would do to a man disarmed like me? |
3567 | ''Why not America?'' |
3567 | ''Why should I not stay here?'' |
3567 | ''Will you have the goodness, Madame,''said he,''to go and wait for me at my head- quarters? |
3567 | -- What could be expected from Regnier, charged as he was with incompatible functions? |
3567 | --"A Chouan?" |
3567 | --"A very young man, say you? |
3567 | --"And how much did you pay him?" |
3567 | --"And what did he say?" |
3567 | --"And what then?" |
3567 | --"And whose, then?" |
3567 | --"Are you not my secretary?" |
3567 | --"But are you sure he is against you?" |
3567 | --"But the money?" |
3567 | --"But what is to be done? |
3567 | --"But, Sire, is she not as unhappy in being banished from her country and her friends as if she were in prison?" |
3567 | --"Did he reproach me with nothing else?" |
3567 | --"Did she see that she was dying? |
3567 | --"Did you kill a man?" |
3567 | --"Did you not choose him; why then can you not choose some one else to govern you? |
3567 | --"Did you tell him I wished him to pay 6,000,000 into your chest?" |
3567 | --"Do you imagine I do not think of it? |
3567 | --"Do you think I am to be deceived by these fair promises? |
3567 | --"Does not her conduct justify me in so doing?" |
3567 | --"General, have you proofs against him?" |
3567 | --"General, need I remind you that Louis, in his letter, guarantees the contrary of all you apprehend? |
3567 | --"General,"said I,"on what do you ground this assurance?" |
3567 | --"How came you to give your dog that name?" |
3567 | --"How so, you little rogue; do you mean to insult me?" |
3567 | --"How the devil should I know?" |
3567 | --"I do not know; but is this the time to think of such a thing, when the eyes of all France are fixed upon you? |
3567 | --"I, General? |
3567 | --"In May? |
3567 | --"Is he still at home?" |
3567 | --"May I presume to inquire what it is?" |
3567 | --"Nay, that is impossible."--"Why?" |
3567 | --"Not a hair has escaped me: what say you?" |
3567 | --"Oh no, it is worthless; what say you?" |
3567 | --"Sire, how can you imagine my mother is happy when she is absent from her country and her friends? |
3567 | --"Sire, my brother and myself had intended to settle in France, but how can we live in a country where our mother can not visit us?" |
3567 | --"Sire, will your Majesty permit me to repeat that my mother has no wish whatever to mingle in society? |
3567 | --"That is true, I certainly do not."--"Why?" |
3567 | --"Then surely you would not harm the man by whom it is signed?" |
3567 | --"Then why do you take the trouble to accompany me?" |
3567 | --"Then you do not know where he is gone?" |
3567 | --"Very badly, Sire."--"How? |
3567 | --"Well, Bourrienne, are you of the opinion that Moreau is innocent?" |
3567 | --"Well, Bourrienne, what do you say to it? |
3567 | --"Well, General, why not take means to obviate the mischief you foresee?" |
3567 | --"Well, then, why did you allow it to appear?" |
3567 | --"What am I to understand by that?" |
3567 | --"What can all this mean?" |
3567 | --"What did he say? |
3567 | --"What has Bourrienne done?" |
3567 | --"What is it, and on whose behalf?" |
3567 | --"What is it?" |
3567 | --"What is your name?" |
3567 | --"What is your objection to Desfournaux?" |
3567 | --"What were you doing in Paris?" |
3567 | --"What, sir?" |
3567 | --"What, would you part from her?" |
3567 | --"Where is Bourrienne?" |
3567 | --"Where is your mother?" |
3567 | --"Who was in company with you?" |
3567 | --"Whom have you seen in Paris?" |
3567 | --"Why should I be in uniform?" |
3567 | --"Why should I not? |
3567 | --"Why, General?" |
3567 | --"Will not your troops join me in an advance on Paris?" |
3567 | --"Will she like that?" |
3567 | --"Yes, Sire, she loved you, and she would have proved it had it not been for dread of displeasing you: she had conceived an idea."--"How? |
3567 | --"You believe that?" |
3567 | --''And who has not, Sire?'' |
3567 | --''But if I were to pardon you would you be grateful for my mercy?'' |
3567 | --''By whom were you sent? |
3567 | --''Did you intend to kill me then?'' |
3567 | --''Did you mean to attempt his life?''--''Yes.''--''Why?'' |
3567 | --''Does your Majesty suppose that I can bind myself by such an engagement? |
3567 | --''Have I done you any harm?'' |
3567 | --''How long have you been in Vienna?'' |
3567 | --''Is this the first time you have seen me?'' |
3567 | --''She will doubtless be much distressed at your adventure?'' |
3567 | --''What condition, Sire?'' |
3567 | --''What could I do?'' |
3567 | --''What did you intend to do with your knife?'' |
3567 | --''What do you mean?'' |
3567 | --''What does he say respecting the new regulation for the court- dresses?'' |
3567 | --''What is your father?'' |
3567 | --''Whose portrait is that which was found on you?'' |
3567 | --''Why did you wait so long before you attempted the execution of your project?'' |
3567 | --''Why did you wish to kill me?'' |
3567 | --''You are ill, then?'' |
3567 | --''You are mad, young man; you are one of the illuminati?'' |
3567 | --[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised? |
3567 | --he exclaimed,"is it possible you can be guilty of such baseness as this? |
3567 | After pinching my ear and asking his usual questions, such as,"What does the world say? |
3567 | After reading the report, would you believe that the Emperor flew into a furious passion? |
3567 | After this, what more can be wanted? |
3567 | Against whom did Bonaparte propose to protect them? |
3567 | Am I no better than M. d''Artois? |
3567 | Am I not your comrade? |
3567 | Am I quite right?" |
3567 | Am I strong enough to overcome all those obstacles?" |
3567 | Am I then an advance- guard King?" |
3567 | Am I to trouble much longer the digestion of Kings?" |
3567 | And am I not ready to do so again?" |
3567 | And as to the third, can he find pleasure or honour in humiliation of his son- in- law? |
3567 | And at what a time did this disaster befall him? |
3567 | And patting his belly with both his hands,''Can a man,''he asked,''so fat as I am be ambitious?'' |
3567 | And then what title has the Chamber to demand my abdication? |
3567 | And was this not to be obtained? |
3567 | And who was Ney to charge? |
3567 | And why should he have done so? |
3567 | And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there? |
3567 | Apropos, Bourrienne, have you seen Corvisart?" |
3567 | Are not all the debts of the State sacred?" |
3567 | Are you in a hurry? |
3567 | Are you jesting with me? |
3567 | Are you satisfied? |
3567 | Are you satisfied?" |
3567 | Are you satisfied?" |
3567 | Are you then tired of peace? |
3567 | As M. de Stael advanced towards the Emperor the latter said,"Whence do you come?" |
3567 | As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him? |
3567 | As he was an eyewitness, why does he not state the whole truth, and say that on her return Bonaparte refused to see her and did not see her? |
3567 | As soon as he entered the apartment in which Napoleon was the latter stepped up to him and said,"Well, how are things going on?" |
3567 | As we passed the Place Louis XV., now Louis XVI., he asked me what Napoleon was doing, and what my opinion was as to the coming events? |
3567 | At another time he would say,"Your dress is none of the cleanest..... Do you ever change your gown? |
3567 | At this period even Madame de Stael said, in a party where the firmness of M. Barbs Marbois was the topic of conversation--"What, he inflexible? |
3567 | Austria, Russia, and Prussia have all had a slice of the cake; when the match is once kindled who knows where, the conflagration may stop? |
3567 | Besides, what could be meant by the reasonable equivalent from England? |
3567 | Bonaparte inquired if some fairy were to offer to gratify all his wishes what he would ask? |
3567 | Bonaparte, is it possible you could suspect Bourrienne, who is so attached to you, and who is your only friend? |
3567 | Bonaparte, not knowing of the little step down into the room, slipped and nearly fell,"Where is Bourrienne?" |
3567 | Bonaparte, on seeing the pearls, did not fail to say to Madame,"What is it you have got there? |
3567 | Bourrienne, are we not old comrades? |
3567 | But are there no means of making them refund? |
3567 | But can a man of sound sense listen for one moment to such a doctrine? |
3567 | But for that I must have twenty years, and who can count on the future? |
3567 | But for this imaginary resistance, officially announced, how would it have been possible to justify the spoliations and exactions which ensued? |
3567 | But how can that fact be ascertained, since General d''Hautpoult was killed on that same day? |
3567 | But if there was duplicity at Vienna was there not folly, nay, blindness, in the Cabinet of the Tuileries? |
3567 | But is that case could I have expected more from him than from my own brother? |
3567 | But is there not some ground for suspecting the fidelity of him who writes or dictates his own history? |
3567 | But it may be said to me, Why should we place more confidence in you than in those who have written before you? |
3567 | But on which side is truth? |
3567 | But once more, what is there to fear? |
3567 | But tell me, what would you do if he were to return?" |
3567 | But under what pretext was the absence of the conqueror of Montebello to be procured? |
3567 | But what are men? |
3567 | But what can be done against illuminism? |
3567 | But what could Mallet do? |
3567 | But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena? |
3567 | But what does this signify to England? |
3567 | But what has been the result of this great political spoliation? |
3567 | But why did he wish to stamp false initials on things with which neither he nor his reign had any connection; as, for example the old Louvre? |
3567 | But why was it not addressed directly to me by Macdonald?" |
3567 | But why? |
3567 | But, even relying on his good faith, would be he able to keep his promise? |
3567 | But, on the other hand, did not the people evince decided obstinacy and insubordination? |
3567 | Can I confine him in the Temple? |
3567 | Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations? |
3567 | Can not you stay a few minutes longer?" |
3567 | Can she not go to Rome, to Berlin, to Vienna, to Milan, or to London? |
3567 | Can the mercy which they have exercised even in the fury of battle be extinct in their hearts? |
3567 | Can there be a more evident, a more direct proof of this than the digging of the grave beforehand? |
3567 | Can there be anything in common between me and the refugees of Geneva?" |
3567 | Can you disbelieve in God? |
3567 | Can you endure to think of the dismemberment of our country?" |
3567 | Can you see how far reaction would extend?" |
3567 | Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte? |
3567 | Could I be Prefect of Police under a Minister whom a short time before I had received orders to arrest, but who eluded my agents? |
3567 | Could I doubt the truth of Bouvet de Lozier''s declaration, under the circumstances in which it was made? |
3567 | Could I foresee that he would deny his first declaration when brought before the Court? |
3567 | Could I suffer such open conspiracies against the Government? |
3567 | Could it be done? |
3567 | Could it ever have been imagined that the correspondence of the army, to whom he addressed this proclamation, teemed with accusations against him? |
3567 | Could justice, that safeguard of human rights, be duly administered in the Hanse Towns when those towns were converted into French departments? |
3567 | Could she make that sacrifice? |
3567 | Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny? |
3567 | Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks? |
3567 | Could we even tell what might occur during the march? |
3567 | Could we reasonably rely upon Austria? |
3567 | Could you believe for one moment that I would tamper with a magistrate in order to induce him to exercise an unjust rigour?" |
3567 | Could you believe that during the trial he went about clamouring in behalf of Moreau? |
3567 | Detain him? |
3567 | Did he do well? |
3567 | Did he talk of a divorce?" |
3567 | Did not all the Kings that I created act nearly in the same manner? |
3567 | Did she show courage?" |
3567 | Did she suffer much?" |
3567 | Did you ever know an instance of so important an announcement proving untrue after it had been published in the London Gazette? |
3567 | Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings? |
3567 | Did you say that the fools of the Faubourg St. Germain would multiply the copies of this protest of Comte de Lille? |
3567 | Do n''t you think we have not worked badly since that time? |
3567 | Do not I know what he did at Lyons and the Loire? |
3567 | Do you imagine that all those who came to flatter me were sincere? |
3567 | Do you know that you have all of you been the cause of my not following up the battle of Chebreisse? |
3567 | Do you know what passed when I took him aside? |
3567 | Do you not read them? |
3567 | Do you recollect the necklace?" |
3567 | Do you remember what you said to me in the Rue St. Anne nearly two years ago?" |
3567 | Do you suppose I am ignorant of what he said of me and of my vote at the National Convention? |
3567 | Do you suppose I am not acquainted with everything? |
3567 | Do you swear?" |
3567 | Do you think I am to be imposed upon by that word? |
3567 | Do you think I would have left you alone with a man like that? |
3567 | Do you think to overawe us by this? |
3567 | Do you wish to have an idea of their appearance? |
3567 | Does any one imagine that the Foreign Powers will be won over by fine words? |
3567 | Does he sulk at me? |
3567 | Does not every State creditor say the same of his debt? |
3567 | Does not this form a singular contrast with the patriotic munificence displayed at the death of General Foy? |
3567 | Education-- is it not? |
3567 | Feeling the cold air which came up the staircase he pressed my arm and said,''Are they going to put me into a dungeon?''" |
3567 | Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?" |
3567 | Flattery? |
3567 | For whom did I fight at Bassano? |
3567 | Four years ago did I not with a feeble army drive before me hordes of Sardinians and Austrians, and scour the face of Italy? |
3567 | General, what security would you have?" |
3567 | Genevieve?" |
3567 | Grouchy, Ney, D''Erlon-- was there treachery or was it merely misfortune? |
3567 | Had he attached himself to me, I would doubtless have conferred on him the title of First Marshal of the Empire; but what could I do? |
3567 | Has he not been voluntarily chosen Prince Royal of Sweden; may he not also be raised to the same rank in France? |
3567 | Has not England sent assassins?" |
3567 | Has not Savary also eventually got his police? |
3567 | Have I agents in London to disturb the Government of Great Britain? |
3567 | Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France? |
3567 | Have I not always been contending either with domestic enemies or foreign foes? |
3567 | Have I not been wounded twenty times among you? |
3567 | Have I not shared your fatigues and privations? |
3567 | Have I positive and substantive proof of what I assert? |
3567 | Have I the giving of them? |
3567 | Have not some of the intriguers put it into his head that I regard him with jealousy? |
3567 | Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me? |
3567 | Have the soldiers of liberty become executioners? |
3567 | Have they calculated upon the inevitable consequences of this abdication? |
3567 | Have they not actually consumed 75,000,000 in advance? |
3567 | Have you heard any bad news?" |
3567 | Have you not sacrificed everything to that ambition, even the happiness of France? |
3567 | He asked Antommarchi if 500 guineas would satisfy the English physician, and if he himself would like to serve Maria Louisa in quality of a physician? |
3567 | He asked me whether I would go with him? |
3567 | He asked, jestingly,"How it was that he frequently beat those who beat better players than himself?" |
3567 | He complained of being accused of ambition; and observing that I looked astonished and doubtful--''What?'' |
3567 | He considered victory to be a thing that was impossible, and even with a victory, what would have become of the expedition? |
3567 | He may have reported to you what he pleased, but could not I do the same by him? |
3567 | He merely said,''So you have seen Bourrienne? |
3567 | He never failed to ask whence they came? |
3567 | He one day said to me:"What gross stupidity, is this? |
3567 | He said:"The three armies, of the North, of the Rhine, and of the Sambre- et- Meuse, are to form only one, the army of Germany.--Augereau? |
3567 | He says that he made us Kings; but did we not make him an Emperor? |
3567 | He showed me this letter, saying,"What do you think of it? |
3567 | He then asked,"Was she long ill? |
3567 | He will not remain at Savona, and where does he wish I should send him?" |
3567 | Here Josephine again interrupted me by exclaiming,"My kind friend, when you spoke of children did he say anything to you? |
3567 | His favourite phrase, which was every moment on his lips, must not be forgotten--"What will history say-- what will posterity think?" |
3567 | How are your children? |
3567 | How can this be answered? |
3567 | How could he be otherwise? |
3567 | How could he have supported the establishment he did with only 15,000 francs of income and the emoluments of his rank? |
3567 | How could it be otherwise? |
3567 | How could it ever be said that the Directory"kept General Bonaparte away from the great interests which were under discussion at Rastadt"? |
3567 | How could it ever be said that the Duc d''Enghien perished as a presumed accomplice in the conspiracy of Georges? |
3567 | How could that Prince write to Bonaparte to offer him his services and to solicit the command of an army? |
3567 | How could you suffer such a snare to be laid for him? |
3567 | How do you think a man can make friends unless he keeps a good table? |
3567 | How does this declaration tally with his avowal, that if he had received the Prince''s letter he should have lived? |
3567 | How give credit to assertions so very opposite? |
3567 | How have they made their fortunes? |
3567 | How is this precipitation to be explained? |
3567 | How shall I be sure that you will not compromise other persons equally unjustly? |
3567 | How then should the news alluded to have escaped me? |
3567 | How was it that the name of the illustrious accused was not once mentioned in the course of that awful trial? |
3567 | How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge? |
3567 | However great Napoleon may have been, was he not also liable to pay his tribute to the weakness of human nature? |
3567 | I asked Josephine whether she wore out two hats in one day? |
3567 | I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?" |
3567 | I at first refused my sanction to this measure; but after the charge made against him by Bouvet de Lozier, how could I act otherwise than I did? |
3567 | I had passed the evening of this day with M. de Talleyrand, who then observed to the Emperor Alexander in my presence,"Will you support Bonaparte? |
3567 | I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so? |
3567 | I immediately recognised the Duc de Berry,''How, Monseigneur, is it you?'' |
3567 | I know well there are societies where it is said,"Is this blood, then, so pure?" |
3567 | I know what will be your answer; but are you not able to impose whatever conditions you may think fit? |
3567 | I made some observations on the subject, and in particular asked whether there were sufficient proofs of his guilt to justify his condemnation? |
3567 | I mentioned this to Bonaparte, and I immediately perceived by his hasty"What do you say?" |
3567 | I remember that one of his chief arguments was this:"What is it that distinguishes men? |
3567 | I replied,''do you imagine the nation will suffer a bastard to govern it? |
3567 | I sacrificed my home, abandoned my property, and lost everything for the Republic? |
3567 | I then asked him what he intended to do with the knife which had been found upon him? |
3567 | I was about to depart when Fouché; called me back saying,"Why are you in such haste? |
3567 | I was directed to answer,"The First Consul,"to the sentinel''s challenge of,"Who goes there?" |
3567 | I will suppose myself again victorious; but what should I do in London with an army diminished three- fourths and without the hope of reinforcements? |
3567 | I wished for the empire of the world, as who would not have done in my place? |
3567 | I wished that he would deny the attempt; but how was it possible to save a man who was determined to sacrifice himself? |
3567 | If I were to name you King of Spain would you accept the offer? |
3567 | If he was not so implicated, where is the proof of his guilt? |
3567 | If it admits it, what kind of predetermined result can that be which a simple resolution, a step, a word, may alter or modify ad infinitum? |
3567 | If the infected were removed, why not mention it? |
3567 | If, as Napoleon has declared, the young Bourbon was an accomplice in the crime, why was he not arrested at the time the others were? |
3567 | Immediately after Napoleon''s examination of the young fanatic he sent for M. de Champagny:"How are the negotiations going on?" |
3567 | In a few minutes Bonaparte entered, and taking up the pamphlet pretended to look through it:"Have you read this?" |
3567 | In what a tone of sincerity did he say to me one day, when returning from the parade,"Bourrienne, do you hear the acclamations still resounding? |
3567 | In what class am I placed? |
3567 | Indeed, what said article 5 of this law? |
3567 | Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom? |
3567 | Is Fortune to be again brought forward here? |
3567 | Is he ill?'' |
3567 | Is he not satisfied with being a King?'' |
3567 | Is he still here?" |
3567 | Is he the author?" |
3567 | Is history to be written from such documents? |
3567 | Is it astonishing that this obscurity and vagueness should have banished all confidence on the part of the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied powers? |
3567 | Is it believed that axioms in metaphysics, declarations of right, harangues from the tribune, will put a stop to the disbanding of an army? |
3567 | Is it not betraying Europe to introduce Asiatic barbarities into her disputes? |
3567 | Is it not criminal to bring foreign invasion upon a country? |
3567 | Is it possible that you disown me? |
3567 | Is it thus that you dare affront a Marshal of France who has bled for his country, and grown gray in victory? |
3567 | Is it, I ask again, is it while the enemy is in France that you should have done this? |
3567 | Is not Wright, who landed Georges and his accomplices at Dieppe, a captain in the British navy? |
3567 | Is there treason here? |
3567 | Is this the recompense you had in store for me? |
3567 | It must, however, be respected, for it had its source in love of their country; but, while we excuse it, can it be justified? |
3567 | It was impossible that the monarch could remain at the Capital, and yet, where was he to go? |
3567 | It was not so with the Prussian Commissioner, to whom he said duly,"Are there any Prussians in my escort?" |
3567 | It was speedily ascertained that the little advanced guard of the headquarters had not heard the"Qui vive?" |
3567 | It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise? |
3567 | Let him sell his property and quit? |
3567 | Madame Bonaparte informed me that she had heard persons to whom Bonaparte expressed a desire to recall me observe,"What would you do? |
3567 | May I count on you? |
3567 | Medicine was really the only political fraud to which Josephine had recourse; and in her situation what other woman would not have done as much? |
3567 | Must Europe again be deluged with blood? |
3567 | Napoleon broke out,"Yea, that he may end in the same manner as that of Alexander? |
3567 | Napoleon said to the individual in question,''Well, does not the Prince regret leaving France?'' |
3567 | Napoleon would say,"why does she not ask me herself: is the girl afraid of me?" |
3567 | Napoleon''s countenance was so altered that the Marshal, struck with the change, said, as if it were involuntarily,"Is your Majesty indisposed?" |
3567 | Of these how many were for me? |
3567 | On Sunday, the 9th of May, Lucien came to see Madame Bonaparte, who said to him,"Why did you not come to dinner last Monday?" |
3567 | On coming into Napoleon''s presence he said,"What do you want, General?" |
3567 | On reading that a slight sneer was observable in his countenance, and he said,"What are these idiots dreaming of? |
3567 | On showing their warrant Fouché said,"What does this mean? |
3567 | On this rock? |
3567 | One day Napoleon said to Las Cases,"Your orthography is not correct, is it?" |
3567 | One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?" |
3567 | Ought I to have given it another King? |
3567 | Ought the representatives to reduce the Government to the necessity of being unjust and impolitic? |
3567 | Parbleu,"said Bonaparte,"that is Fouché?" |
3567 | Salicetti, you know me; and I ask whether you have observed anything in my conduct for the last five years which can afford ground of suspicion? |
3567 | She had asked him whether the tyrant was soon to pass that way? |
3567 | She loved me truly-- she-- did she not? |
3567 | She said to her father,"Would he too make me a prisoner before your eyes? |
3567 | Should the prisoners be set at liberty? |
3567 | Should they be embarked? |
3567 | Should they be sent into Egypt? |
3567 | Since the commencement of the Revolution, have I not always been attached to its principles? |
3567 | Since you and I separated have you heard them repeated?" |
3567 | Staps asked who Corvisart was? |
3567 | Tell him so if you see him again, But is it not my duty to bestow as much in charity as I can?" |
3567 | Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back? |
3567 | The Emperor has treated you unjustly; and to whom has he not been unjust? |
3567 | The Emperor put the following questions to Staps, which I translated, together with the answers:"''Where do you come from?'' |
3567 | The First Consul recollected him, and ordered him to be shown into his cabinet.--"What, are you here?" |
3567 | The master could have his minister hanged with public applause, and the minister could hang-- whom? |
3567 | The motives may be explained, but can they be justified? |
3567 | The six battalions of the division of Nimes want clothes, equipment, and drilling, say you? |
3567 | The treaty contained no stipulation dishonourable to Russia, whose territory was preserved inviolate; but how was Prussia treated? |
3567 | Then how oppose all the Austrian forces that will march to the protection of Vienna? |
3567 | Then, after a moment''s pause, he added, still addressing Macdonald,"Marshal, where shall I go?" |
3567 | Then, suddenly changing the subject of conversation, he said,''Have you not lately observed something extraordinary in Murat? |
3567 | There is no doubt of that, Sire; but because you are not liked in these two Courts, is it to be inferred that they would assassinate you?'' |
3567 | There is the Hotel de Noailles-- why do n''t you take it, and furnish it in proper style?" |
3567 | They wish to be citizens-- why did they not know how to continue so? |
3567 | This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it? |
3567 | This he might have said; but if he did so express himself, how are we to reconcile such a declaration with the statement of O''Meara? |
3567 | This is not what you will approve the most, but in my present situation what signifies it? |
3567 | This plan was all very well, but how was it to be put into execution? |
3567 | This resolution could have originated only with himself, for who would have dared to suggest it to him? |
3567 | This was from zeal, but was not the First Consul right in saying that such zeal was unfortunate? |
3567 | This was true; but how was it to be prevented? |
3567 | Thus, when I am mistrustful of myself I ask, should I have been treated so at the Tuileries? |
3567 | To England? |
3567 | To such arguments what could have been answered? |
3567 | To this he would not have failed to add,"Whose are the votes opposed to me? |
3567 | Twice have 24,000,000 of French called me to the throne: which of you durst undertake such a burden? |
3567 | Upon which the Consul angrily interrupted him, saying,"Do you think I am a mere capuchin? |
3567 | Vexed at receiving no satisfactory answer to his inquiries he called Rapp, and said,"Do you know, Rapp, where Bourrienne is?" |
3567 | Was I to abandon Holland to our enemies? |
3567 | Was I to be received by my old comrade of Brienne, or by His Imperial Majesty? |
3567 | Was Ney to be the one man to shoot down his old leader? |
3567 | Was Ney to deliberately kill his old commander? |
3567 | Was ever such an account of a dynasty given? |
3567 | Was it too abrupt a transition from the habits of the twelve preceding years? |
3567 | Was not the rapidity of the Emperor''s first operations a thing hitherto unprecedented? |
3567 | Was not this opinion of Bonaparte, formed on the past, fully verified by the future? |
3567 | Was there any other charge against him, or had calumny triumphed over the services he had rendered to his country? |
3567 | Was this possible? |
3567 | Was, then, the time for this innovation not yet arrived? |
3567 | Well, whom do you think I mean to appoint in his place? |
3567 | Were I to allow you to march out, what security can I have that you will not join them, and afterwards fight against me? |
3567 | What are you about? |
3567 | What can France do against you? |
3567 | What can he want? |
3567 | What can she want more? |
3567 | What could I do, Collot? |
3567 | What could I do? |
3567 | What could I do? |
3567 | What could I say to them? |
3567 | What could I say, what could I do? |
3567 | What could be more iniquitous than to attack me without a declaration of war? |
3567 | What could he achieve against the English in Portugal? |
3567 | What did Bernadotte do? |
3567 | What did I do? |
3567 | What do people say of that buffoon, Bonaparte?" |
3567 | What do these people owe me? |
3567 | What do you mean? |
3567 | What do you mean?" |
3567 | What do you think I did at the Temple? |
3567 | What do you think is the point his negotiations put most forward? |
3567 | What do you think of that, Bourrienne?" |
3567 | What do you want me to do with them?" |
3567 | What does all this flight of imagination mean? |
3567 | What does he desire of me?" |
3567 | What does it contain? |

3567 | What, who are you? |
3567 | When Bonaparte returned to his cabinet he said to Rapp,"Tell me, Rapp, why you left these doors open, and stopped with Bourrienne?" |
3567 | When I had examined it I said,"General, it has been due for a long time; why have you not got it paid? |
3567 | When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?" |
3567 | When I saluted the General, whom I had not seen for twelve days, he thus addressed me:"So you are here, are you? |
3567 | When I spoke in confidence to your brother, could I regard him as an inquisitor?" |
3567 | When do you think of setting out?" |
3567 | When he looked at them he said,"Here is money-- what is the meaning of this?" |
3567 | When shall we pay a visit to London with those brave fellows?" |
3567 | When the day''s work was done,"Let us see,"said Talleyrand;"what did Monsieur say? |
3567 | When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?" |
3567 | Where did you get these pearls? |
3567 | Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them? |
3567 | Where is he?" |
3567 | Where was your support-- your strength? |
3567 | Where were the ships?--Where could they be found? |
3567 | Where, then, would have been her navy, her trade and even her existence? |
3567 | While negligently rolling his balls about he muttered these words:''Do you ever see Bourrienne now?'' |
3567 | Who but a thorough Republican, the stanch friend of equality, would have done this? |
3567 | Who can assure us that that General had been able to communicate with the Marshal? |

3567 | Who would not suppose from this phrase that Napoleon had taken no part whatever in the great financial operation between Spain and South America? |
3567 | Who would suppose it? |
3567 | Who, in Heaven''s name, has not already inhabited this palace? |
3567 | Who, indeed, could be so blind as not to see that the ruin of the Continent would be the triumph of British commerce? |

3567 | Why did the cannon- balls spare me only to die in this deplorable manner? |
3567 | Why did they wink at the accumulation in the Tuileries of the contributions and exactions levied in, conquered countries? |

3567 | Why is he not a Frenchman? |
3567 | Why not anticipate her? |
3567 | Why should I have dreaded it? |
3567 | Why should not France, if it ceases to be free, prefer the race of her ancient kings? |
3567 | Why should she wish to place herself immediately within the reach of my tyranny? |
3567 | Why should the Russians have the right of opposing destiny and thwarting our just designs? |
3567 | Why the devil, then, do you come to me for advice? |
3567 | Why then fight for a few paltry villages? |
3567 | Why then should it be put upon record? |
3567 | Why this silence? |
3567 | Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?" |
3567 | Will you breakfast with me tomorrow morning?'' |
3567 | Will you send, for this purpose, your power of attorney to Baciocchi, or to whomsoever you think fit? |
3567 | With eyes burning with rage, he exclaimed in an excited voice,"Why have my orders not been executed?" |
3567 | With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town? |
3567 | Would it be believed? |
3567 | Would so long an interval have been suffered to elapse before he was arrested? |
3567 | Would they wish to proclaim in the face of the world that all they did was through fear? |
3567 | Would you believe it,"pursued Rapp,"that neither Murat nor Berthier said a word in reply? |
3567 | Would you believe it? |
3567 | Would you have dared to fire on me?'' |
3567 | Would you imagine it? |
3567 | Yet that is the way your grandfather defended Louis XVI..... As to the confiscation you speak of, what does that prove? |
3567 | Yet what was this liberty? |
3567 | You are a brave fellow-- I saw you at Aboukir-- how is your old father? |
3567 | You deceive me at St. Helena? |
3567 | You expect the Russians? |
3567 | You have never given credit to the horrid accusation?" |
3567 | You make remonstrances; is this a time, when the stranger invades our provinces, and 200,000 Cossacks are ready to overflow our country? |
3567 | You see to what a string of absurdities that will lead?" |
3567 | You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France? |
3567 | Your Majesty may convince yourself of it; would you without need expose the lives of so many men?" |
3567 | and then Napoleon much affected drew close to M. Horan, and added,"You say that she was in grief; from what did that arise?" |
3567 | are you not angry when at length the truth reaches your ear?" |
3567 | are you satisfied?" |
3567 | but why? |
3567 | carried off? |
3567 | continued Rapp,"what could I do? |
3567 | could he, as he asked, stop the sea with his hands? |
3567 | did he really say so?" |
3567 | did you venture so far?" |
3567 | do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion? |
3567 | etc.,"he said to me,"By the by, have you attended the proceedings against Moreau?" |
3567 | exclaimed he,"does Chateaubriand think I am a fool, and that I do not know what he means? |
3567 | has calumny such powerful charms that, once they are submitted to, their yoke can not be broken? |
3567 | have I nothing but my cloak and my sword now?''" |
3567 | have you not got the Cross? |
3567 | he added,''have I accustomed them to such great victories that they knew not how to bear one day''s misfortune? |
3567 | he continued,''am I ambitious then?'' |
3567 | he exclaimed,"what is your opinion? |
3567 | he said,"Why was I not there to take my chance? |
3567 | how could you send me such reports as these? |
3567 | how many children they had, and who their husbands were? |
3567 | how?" |
3567 | is it not good?" |
3567 | is not now sitting opposite to you? |
3567 | is that all? |
3567 | nothing-- all authority is in the Throne; and what is the Throne? |
3567 | repeated Napoleon hastily,"and what is that something else?" |
3567 | said Bonaparte,"it is Chateaubriand''s book, is it? |
3567 | said the soldier,"why does he come with his diplomacy to such a devil of a country as this?" |
3567 | she used to speak of me then?" |
3567 | then a crime is nothing to you?'' |
3567 | to wish to hear that preface? |
3567 | was any general ever expected to undergo such a test? |
3567 | was it not in your power to let them escape?" |
3567 | were they not to blame in throwing stones at the guard, forcing the palisades, and even refusing to listen to the voice of the magistrates? |
3567 | what are you about?" |
3567 | what course they had sailed? |
3567 | what have we here? |
3567 | what is your opinion of it?" |
3567 | what ships they had met? |
3567 | what was their destination? |
3567 | what will become of us?" |
3567 | what will become of us?" |
3567 | who could then have foreseen that the duchy of Cambacérès would become the refuge of a Princess of Austria, the widowed wife of Napoleon Bonaparte? |
3567 | would you believe it? |
3567 | would you go with him?" |
