The Empress Eugenie, says Henry

was little more than an adventures,
occasionally living in Spain, and often
roaming about Europe, she became
strong and narrow-minded,
with all the superstition of Spaniard,
and with all the tolerance of lady
who has lived much at Continental
watering places.
The Emperor fell in love with her,
and married her. He himself was a
dreamer, but amiable in his relations.
and as honest as was consistent with
his interests.
His surroundings were thoroughly
bad. They were, in the main, men
who were more fitted to be billiard

financiers, and women who would have
