| 3580 | ''General, First Consul,''cried the frightened cardinal,''it is not a red hat, but a red cap, which that man should have?'' |
| 3580 | ''That is true, Sire,''replied the Prince Primate I was mistaken; but how does it happen that your Majesty is so well acquainted with these matters?'' |
| 3580 | --"Ah, Monsieur, unless we had twenty louis, we would not be above want; but what chance is there of our ever having twenty louis?" |
| 3580 | --"And Monsieur Colin, how much has he?" |

| 3580 | --"I, my Lord, have me arrested? |
| 3580 | --"My glory,"interrupted the marshal eagerly;"do you wish me to speak frankly? |
| 3580 | --"Reply, I order you; was it you?" |
| 3580 | --"Shall we leave you to the enemy?" |
| 3580 | --"Suppose I pardoned you?" |

| 3580 | According to one of the habitual expressions of the Emperor, the pear was ripe; but who was to gather it? |
| 3580 | After the colonel had replied, he addressed himself to all the other officers, saying,"Who is the bravest among you?" |
| 3580 | All these dangers in no wise- depressed the Emperor; and he had a habit of saying,"What have I to fear? |
| 3580 | Am I not here?" |
| 3580 | An Inhabitant.--"Is it true, as I am told, that the condition of affairs is so bad?" |
| 3580 | And how could you have hoped to escape, after you had struck me thus in the midst of my soldiers?" |
| 3580 | And noticing the fine resistance and majestic maneuvers of a frigate, he asked,"Can you believe, my children, that captain is English? |
| 3580 | And when the grand marshal appeared, his Majesty inquired,"Who is the idiot that could have conceived such an idea? |
| 3580 | And you, my dear, what did you do all the evening?" |
| 3580 | Are we not old acquaintances, we two?" |
| 3580 | Are you content?" |
| 3580 | Are you not my chief architect?" |
| 3580 | Are you supporting them also?" |
| 3580 | Are you sure you have a good driver? |
| 3580 | As soon as his Majesty saw a domino similar to the one the femme de chambre had described, he pressed my arm and said,"Is that she?" |
| 3580 | At last I concluded to shake him gently; and at this the Emperor awoke with a loud cry, saying,"What is it? |
| 3580 | At such a tender age could he have been conscious of his uncle''s superiority to all those who surrounded him? |
| 3580 | But what do you mean by your English? |
| 3580 | But what is there for me to say here of a man whose name in history will never be separated from that of the Emperor? |
| 3580 | Can he be dead?" |
| 3580 | Can he stand that ordeal? |
| 3580 | Can it be implicitly believed? |
| 3580 | Can it be possible to see anything equal to what we have seen? |
| 3580 | Come, now, is there any need of formality between friends?" |
| 3580 | Could Paris hold out long enough for him to crush the enemy against its walls? |
| 3580 | Do you believe that, Constant? |

| 3580 | Do you know it has the finest archiepiscopal palace in France? |
| 3580 | Do you know what they do? |

| 3580 | Formerly when a highly esteemed actor was kept from his place for some time by illness( and who deserved more esteem than Dazincourt? |
| 3580 | General Rapp seized the man by the arm, and said to him,"Monsieur, you have already been ordered away; what do you want?" |
| 3580 | Has imagination ever dreamed anything wilder than this? |
| 3580 | Have I not also critics who do not spare me? |
| 3580 | Have you ever seen a foot like that? |
| 3580 | Have you no mother? |
| 3580 | Have you nothing to give me?" |
| 3580 | He approached the soldier and said to him,"Is this, then, all that you have to say to me?" |
| 3580 | He has not done it very badly, has he? |
| 3580 | He recognized him instantly as having seen him in the army of Italy, and approaching him, said,"Well, my brave fellow, why have you not the cross? |
| 3580 | He should not be more sensitive than I?" |
| 3580 | He stopped in surprise, and addressed to the deputy his familiar inquiry,"Who are you?" |
| 3580 | He tried to steal away; but the First Consul cried in a loud voice,"Who goes there? |
| 3580 | He was necessarily struck by the contrast; but was there not some injustice at the foundation of this? |
| 3580 | He, a good, simple, modest man living his retired life, what could the minister of general police desire of him? |
| 3580 | His Majesty could hardly believe what he read and heard; and I, with several other persons, heard him exclaim,"What, he is coming here? |
| 3580 | His Majesty was very angry, and said,"Has any one ever seen anything equal to these big heads? |
| 3580 | His Majesty, who liked to be amused, said to her,"Ah, but why trouble yourself about him? |
| 3580 | How are you?" |
| 3580 | How can I believe in the good faith of those people? |
| 3580 | How can such an immense superiority of numbers be indefinitely resisted? |

| 3580 | How could he dare to present himself before the Emperor? |
| 3580 | How could such a beautiful character fail to make this angel beloved by all who knew him? |
| 3580 | How is he succeeding? |
| 3580 | How many models have you seen worthy of Canova or of David?" |
| 3580 | How will he get out of this, the poor Emperor, whom I love so devotedly? |
| 3580 | If there are abuses to be remedied, is this a time for remonstrances, when two hundred thousand Cossacks are crossing our frontiers? |
| 3580 | In fact, who has proclaimed the principle of insurrection as a duty? |
| 3580 | In such cases the Emperor always said,"How can a sovereign have the laws respected if he does not respect them himself?" |
| 3580 | In these circumstances, I ask of all honest men, what could I do, and what would they have done in my place? |
| 3580 | In this painful moment can the best of fathers wish to destroy my domestic happiness, the only kind which now remains to me? |
| 3580 | Is it possible it can be he?" |

| 3580 | Let us know; what are these conditions?" |
| 3580 | Look here, what would you do to- morrow if the Little Corporal was killed?" |
| 3580 | M. Yvan drew near, and the Emperor said to him,"Do you believe the dose was strong enough?" |
| 3580 | Many times a day he exclaimed,"How far are we from such a town? |
| 3580 | Must they then let all these men perish after most horrible sufferings, for lack of means to convey them to Dresden? |
| 3580 | No, no? |
| 3580 | Once only his Majesty broke the silence by a deep sigh, followed by these words addressed to one of the officers:"What time is it?" |
| 3580 | One day the Emperor, meeting him at Berlin, said to him,"Well, Bisson, do you still drink much?" |
| 3580 | One such poetical effusion was enough to provoke laughter( and can you blame her? |
| 3580 | Or did it not rather arise from the certainty of no longer fearing it in his bed more than on the battlefield? |
| 3580 | Paralyzed by the necessary consequences of the Revolution, could she have risen again and maintained her position? |
| 3580 | Pillage? |
| 3580 | Several Voices.--"But what, then, shall we do?" |
| 3580 | That is extraordinary; what, sir, seize enfants?" |
| 3580 | That sounds well, does it not?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor awaited daylight in a poor hut, and in the morning said to Prince Berthier,"Well, Berthier, how can we get out of this?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor exclaimed with inconceivable joy,"Can it be true?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor interrupted his work to regard her:"I did not take long at my toilet, did I?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor, having been informed of it by others than myself, said to me one morning at his toilet,"Constant, I owe you indemnity."--"Sire?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor, much surprised, exclaimed,"What the devil does this foolish creature want with me?" |
| 3580 | The Emperor, to increase his embarrassment, said to him,"Do you like chocolate, Monsieur le Duc?" |
| 3580 | The Empress alone kept silence; and noticing this the Emperor said to her,"Louise, have you nothing to say to poor Constant?" |
| 3580 | The Inhabitant.--"But how, then, will all this end?" |
| 3580 | The brave chief of the''Philadelphi'', the pure Oudet, has been assassinated, and who is worthy to take his place? |
| 3580 | The child passed through without saluting any one, when the prince stopped him and said,"Will you not tell me goodmorning?" |
| 3580 | The next morning on entering as usual the First Consul''s room, to his customary questions,"What o''clock is it? |
| 3580 | The soldiers were accustomed to say that four words formed the basis of the Polish language,--kleba? |
| 3580 | The surgeon of this town advanced to thank the Emperor; and his Majesty examining him attentively said to him,"You have served in the army, Monsieur?" |
| 3580 | Then recognizing the young lady, after having scrutinized her features more closely, he added in very evident anger,"Ah, is it you again? |
| 3580 | Then turning to M. Fontaine, he continued,"Monsieur Fontaine, was my statue in the design which was presented to you?" |
| 3580 | This was a more crushing blow to me than the first, and I foresaw the consequences with horror; what would be said, what would be thought, of me? |
| 3580 | To those who have lived, like myself, amid the conquests and wonders of the Empire, what is left to- day? |
| 3580 | Was his genius as benumbed as his body? |
| 3580 | Was it the result of his satisfaction at having escaped death, which a momentary despair had made him desire? |
| 3580 | Was the Emperor really so overwhelmed by his evil fortune? |
| 3580 | What costume must he wear? |
| 3580 | What could I hope for in France, where I had no right to anything? |
| 3580 | What could he reply to the deposition of the gendarmes who had arrested him in the very act? |
| 3580 | What could he reply when asked wherefore, and with what motive, he had been found alone in the night, armed with a sword, in the thickest of the wood? |
| 3580 | What do they think of that in Paris?" |
| 3580 | What do you want? |
| 3580 | What has become of the marshal?" |
| 3580 | What has he done to be thus treated?" |
| 3580 | What have you to fear? |
| 3580 | What is it?" |
| 3580 | What is the weather?" |

| 3580 | Where is he?" |
| 3580 | Where would the war end if the Russians fell back now? |
| 3580 | Wherever I am, am I not in my own house?" |
| 3580 | While I was undressing him the evening before, he said, pinching my ear,"Well, Monsieur Constant, what will you give me for my present?" |
| 3580 | Who comes there?" |
| 3580 | Who could believe it? |
| 3580 | Who has not heard of the hardest drinker in all the army? |
| 3580 | Who has ordered you to beat the alarm?" |
| 3580 | Who has paid adulation to the nation while claiming for it a sovereignty which it was incapable of exercising? |
| 3580 | Who was, then, the important personage struck by a French cannonball? |
| 3580 | Who will be a father to him when I die? |
| 3580 | Who will rear him, and who will make a man of him?" |
| 3580 | Who, then, eats half of my supper?" |
| 3580 | Whose picture is this?" |
| 3580 | Why could they not wait a little?" |
| 3580 | Why did you wish to kill me?" |
| 3580 | Why is he not here? |
| 3580 | Will they abandon them in misfortune? |
| 3580 | Will you swear to sacrifice even your lives in their defense, and to keep them always by your valor in the path to victory? |
| 3580 | Would my word be taken? |
| 3580 | Would she not allow him to go and wade in the mud?" |
| 3580 | Would you have done it?" |
| 3580 | Would you like to lie down a little while? |
| 3580 | You have heard from me lately?" |
| 3580 | You know which it is?" |
| 3580 | You? |
| 3580 | Your Majesty can see this as well as I; are you willing to uselessly risk the lives of so many brave men?" |
| 3580 | about what?" |
| 3580 | added he, smiling,"do not people speak evil of me also? |
| 3580 | added he, smiling;"does the site appear well chosen?" |
| 3580 | already awake, Colas?" |
| 3580 | and have no fear of afflicting and destroying beings who are so dear to you?" |
| 3580 | and would not the chamberlains have a right to be vexed by it? |
| 3580 | but do you understand that this is the revenue of one of my communes? |
| 3580 | but doubtless-- why?" |
| 3580 | forward, my brave cuirassiers?" |
| 3580 | is it you, my dear master?" |
| 3580 | niema;"bread? |
| 3580 | said his Majesty, waking with a start;"what o''clock is it? |
| 3580 | said his Majesty,"have you arrived, Madame? |
| 3580 | said his Majesty;"what is there to fear? |

| 3580 | sara;"water? |
| 3580 | so it was you, was it?" |

| 3580 | vehemently inquired the Emperor;"what has happened?" |
| 3580 | what have you done?" |
| 3580 | what were you doing in the Faubourg Saint Germain? |
| 3580 | what-- I see--do you mean to insult me, you questioner? |
| 3580 | who can desire it more than I? |
| 3580 | why did n''t you come with me?" |
| 3580 | will they follow us everywhere?" |
| 3580 | will you never let me alone?" |
| 3580 | would the matter be carried as far as that?" |
