in a cabinet by Talleyrand and then
manages to imprIson that famous d.

really immediately funny, though one
rather feels that this is not the desired
effect, and Dr. Doyle, too, has drawn
Napoleon as n rather choeric person,
whose frequent TRADES were received by
the more experienced portion Of the first
night audience with something APP
preaching irreverence.
But It's all right, for Or, Doyle says
so. and as. Judging by present appear
