SDulouque was so delighted with the success
of his agent that he sent word to him that he
had elevated him to the dignity of a duke.
This made the man butt for French wit,
and ruined his credit, Then Soulouque be-
came angry at the decrease of supplies, and,
fincying that his agent was growing careless
he degraded him into marquis, then TO a
count, next to A baron, afterward to mere
chevaler, and ultimately deprived him of
even that remnant OF aristocratic distinction.
Meanwhile NJ, Toussalnt- Lagolille had also
lost faith in his imperial master, and began
to carry on his business on his own account.
