Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Vol. 3 Napoleon on leaving Schönbrunn returned to France by way of Munich, where he waited for the ratification of the treaty by Austria. To convey the intelligence as soon as possible, military posts were placed on the heights at certain distances, who were to give the signal by white flags in the day and by bonfires kindled at night. The news of the ratification came the third day of the Emperor´s stay at the capital of Bavaria. He set out next day for Fontainebleau, where he arrived a few hours before the Empress, who had left Strasburg for Paris a month before. There were marks of uneasiness on her countenance and an appearance of constraint in Napoleon´s behavior to her. She was alarmed at the circumstance of the private communication between her room and the Emperor´s having been shut up. They returned to Paris on the 14th of November, where the presence of the King of Saxony sometimes relieved the awkwardness of a tête-à-tête; but it was easy to remark a considerable alteration in the features of the Empress and a silent reserve on the part of the Emperor. The explanation took place on the 30th. Dinner had been served as usual. Josephine had on a large hat tied under the chin, which hid her face in part: but she seemed to have been weeping, and still had some difficulty to restrain her tears. She was the picture of grief.
