France, and remained beyond the Rhine
The splendors of the Empire might have
consoled another; but Marie Louise was
better formed for the tender attachment ol

still more private passage of Napoleon's
lie Is touched upon in the next quotation
which must be our last:
TIE YOUNG COUNTESS wALEsK1
"But while victory and Indifference thus
removed from him the wife which policy

Of feeling in the agitation Of his mind, or
