II. Mr. and Mrs. Philippe de Ségur. - The Emperor orders that the balls begin again. - The wooden legged dancers. - The talisman. - Mesdames Corbineau and de Las cours. - Anatole Lawoestine, the countess Gérard and the countess of Celles. Mesdames Duroure, Gazani, de Valence, d'Emstalt. - M. de Narbonne, knight of honor, M. de Maussion, Isabey and the Count de Forbin. - The Duchess of Montébello and the Empress Marie-Louise. - Garneray and Garat. - A romance by Alexandre Delaborde. M. le compte de Ségur - Count Molé Grand Judge.

One morning I found the queen very sad; the evening before she had learned of the death of Madame Philippe de Ségur. This woman, so young, so happy, had just been carried away by an imprudence. She had the measles, which came out very well. Her mother had just gone to sleep, she wanted to get up to pick up a book and read, since she was not ready to sleep yet.
The eruption returned, and in a few hours she no longer existed. Madame de Luçay having been under the consulate lady of the palace, she was a mother to her, in a way as both had been brought up in the house of the Consul.

The queen [Hortense] loved her very much; her marriage had taken place through the care of the Empress. This young woman adored her husband; she worried too much when he was in the army. I remember seeing her run to the Queen to ask for a little seal which could serve as a talisman for her husband and bring him good luck; the Queen consoled her, and gave the seal with a smile.

This confidence in her help pleased her; so she had become attached to this young and charming couple, and I could see her afflicted at this misfortune as swift as it was unexpected.

I have always seen the Queen take a real interest in the misfortunes of others; it seemed that her empathy, instead of making her insensitive, made her on the contrary more accessible to the sufferings of all that surrounded her; she was deeply distressed by it; but, as was her custom, she did not know how to show it to those who would have been so grateful if they had known how much she cared for them; it was a flaw in her.

She was having a kind of embarrassment showing her feelings, and yet they were still good. It was when we really needed her that we found her, and when we were unhappy that she showed up.
In the habit of life, she was always gentle, welcoming, indulgent to a fault; but she was considered indifferent, because she wasn’t showy about it.

The Emperor ordered that the dances and balls be launched again as in other years. The Queen, who was so big-hearted and could not hide her worries for her brother, was also forced to resume her days of dances and balls.
Her health was no better for it, for she was visibly wasting away; but at that time we never had time to think about ourselves: we had become so used to it that a simple desire of the Emperor was everything, and, in good or bad health, it was necessary to fulfill the duties of his reign; the Queen was to do the honors of Paris.
She wouldn't have thought of complaining and finding the very natural excuse of her health to avoid this duty. The Emperor wants it, the Emperor said it, it was enough for everything and everyone around him.

II. Herr und Frau Philippe de Ségur. - Der Kaiser befiehlt, dass Parteien wieder beginnen. - Die Tänzer mit Holzbeinen. - Der Talisman. - Mesdames Corbineau und de Las Cours. - Anatole Lawoestine, die Gräfin Gérard und die Gräfin von Celles. Mesdames Duroure, Gazani, de Valence, d'Emstalt. - M. de Narbonne, Ehrenritter, M. de Maussion, Isabey und der Graf von Forbin. - Die Herzogin von Montébello und die Kaiserin Marie-Louise. - Garneray und Garat. - Eine Romanze von Alexandre Delaborde. M. le compte de Ségur - Großrichter des Grafen Molé.

Eines Morgens fand ich die Königin sehr traurig; am Abend zuvor hatte sie vom Tod von Madame Philippe de Ségur erfahren. Diese Frau, so jung, so glücklich, war gerade von einer Unvorsichtigkeit mitgerissen worden. Sie hatte die Masern, die sehr gut herauskamen. Ihre Mutter war gerade in Rente gegangen, sie wollte aufstehen, um ein Buch zu holen und zu lesen, da sie nicht schlief. Der Ausbruch kehrte zurück und existierte in wenigen Stunden nicht mehr. Madame de Luçay war unter dem Konsulat. Die Dame des Palastes, ihre Tochter, war in gewisser Weise im Haus des Konsuls erzogen worden.

Die Königin [Hortense] liebte sie sehr; Ihre Ehe hatte durch die Fürsorge der Kaiserin stattgefunden. Diese junge Frau verehrte ihren Ehemann; Sie machte sich zu viele Sorgen, als er in der Armee war. Ich erinnere mich, wie sie zur Königin rannte, um nach einem kleinen Siegel zu fragen, das ihrem Mann als Talisman dienen und ihm viel Glück bringen könnte. Die Königin tröstete sie und schenkte dem Siegel ein Lächeln.

Dieses Vertrauen in sie gefiel ihr; so hatte sie sich an dieses junge und charmante Paar gebunden, und ich konnte sehen, dass sie von einem Unglück geplagt wurde, das so schnell wie unerwartet war.

Ich habe immer gesehen, wie die Königin sich wirklich für das Unglück anderer interessierte. es schien, dass ihre, anstatt sie unempfindlich zu machen, sie im Gegenteil für die Leiden aller, die sie umgaben, zugänglicher machte; sie war zutiefst betrübt darüber; aber wie es ihre Gewohnheit war, wusste sie nicht, wie sie es denen zeigen sollte, die so dankbar gewesen wären, wenn sie gewusst hätten, wie sehr sie sich um sie kümmerte; Es war ein Fehler in ihr.

Es war ihr peinlich, ihre Gefühle zu zeigen, und dennoch waren sie gut. Als wir sie wirklich brauchten, fanden wir sie und als wir unglücklich waren, tauchte sie auf. In der Gewohnheit des Lebens war sie immer sanft, einladend und bis zum letzten Punkt nachsichtig; aber sie galt als gleichgültig, weil sie nichts mehr zeigte.

Der Kaiser befahl, die Tänze und Bälle wie in anderen Jahren wieder zu starten. Die Königin, die so großherzig war und ihre Sorgen um ihren Bruder nicht verbergen konnte, war auch gezwungen, ihre Tage des Tänze und des Balls fortzusetzen. Ihre Gesundheit war nicht besser dafür, denn sie verschwendete sichtlich; aber zu dieser Zeit hatten wir nie Zeit, über uns selbst nachzudenken: Wir hatten uns so daran gewöhnt, dass ein einfacher Wunsch des Kaisers alles war, und bei guter oder schlechter Gesundheit mussten wir die Pflichten von erfüllen seinen Platz; Die Königin sollte die Ehre von Paris erweisen. Sie hätte nicht daran gedacht, sich zu beschweren und die ganz natürliche Entschuldigung ihrer Gesundheit zu finden, um diese Pflicht zu umgehen. Der Kaiser will es, der Kaiser sagte, es sei genug für alles um ihn herum.

二。 Philippe de Ségur夫妇。 -皇帝命令球再次开始。 -木腿舞者。 -护身符。 -Mesdames Corbineau和de Las cours。 -Anatole Lawoestine,杰拉德伯爵夫人和策勒斯伯爵夫人。 达斯塔姆·德瓦朗斯·加扎尼·杜斯·达鲁尔女士。 -纳博讷(M. de Narbonne),荣誉骑士,莫斯(M. de Maussion),伊莎贝(Isabey)和福宾伯爵(Count de Forbin)。 -蒙特贝罗公爵夫人和玛丽·路易丝皇后。 -Garneray和Garat。 -亚历山大·德拉伯德(Alexandre Delaborde)的浪漫史。 Méle compte deSégur-莫莱伯爵大法官。

一天早上,我发现女王很伤心。 她得知菲利普·德·塞古尔夫人去世的前一天晚上。 如此年轻,如此幸福的女人,刚被一个轻率的举动带走了。 她得了麻疹,非常好。 她的母亲刚刚退休,她想起床去读书,因为她没有睡觉。 喷发又回来了,几个小时后它不再存在了。 卢萨伊夫人一直在领事馆内。 宫殿的女士,她的女儿在某种程度上是在领事馆里长大的。

女王[霍滕斯]非常爱他。 她的婚姻是在皇后的照顾下进行的。 这个年轻女人崇拜她的丈夫。 当他参军时,她太担心了。 我记得看到她跑到女王那里要一点印章,可以作为丈夫的护身符,并给他带来好运。 女王安慰她,笑了笑。

对她的这种信心使他感到高兴。 所以她已经结识了这对年轻而迷人的夫妇,我可以看到她遭受的不幸之苦令人意外。

我一直看到女王对别人的不幸感到真正的兴趣。 相反,她似乎没有使她变得麻木不仁,反而使她更容易受到包围她的所有人的痛苦; 她对此深感痛心; 但是,按照她的习俗,她不知道如何向那些知道他们有多爱护他们的人表示感谢。 这是她的缺点。

她有些尴尬地表现出自己的感觉,但感觉仍然很好。 当我们真的需要她的时候,我们找到了她,而当我们不高兴她出现时。 为了养成生活习惯,她总是很温柔,热情,放纵。 但是她被认为无动于衷,因为她什么也没表现出来。

皇帝下令像其他年份一样重新开始打圈和开球。 女王心地善良,无法掩饰自己对哥哥的担忧,还被迫恢复了自己的圈子和球的日子。 她的健康状况并没有因此好转,因为她明显在浪费时间。 但是那时我们从来没有时间去思考自己:我们已经习惯了皇帝的一个简单愿望就是一切,无论身体好坏,都有必要履行自己的职责。 它的位置; 女王是为了纪念巴黎。 她不会想到抱怨并找到健康的自然借口来避免这项责任。 皇帝说,皇帝想要,足以满足他周围的一切。

But I still had to cross Siena, where I passed every year to go to Rome; and there, if I was recognized by another name, everything would be discovered. There was not a moment to lose.
If the police informed Florence that I was passing through, they could send officers along my route; even my husband could send me another letter to find out about my plans and tell me about his;

It was therefore necessary to get through Siena without delay, in broad daylight, under my name, and take advantage of the following night to make myself disappear again on another road, to only take out my new passport there.

The map of the country, which I consulted at every moment, was of great help to me; but in Siena my son had to be hidden from view. It was agreed that he would go down before on foot, that he would go around outside it, and that I would pick him up on the way out.

At the time of carrying out this project, I remembered that Siena was quite steep, that there might not be any external paths; and the fear of seeing my son alone in the country when all the police were on their feet searching for the exiles, and that he might be arrested, made me abandon this plan.

I preferred to see him go and hide out, while they were examining my passport, thinking that through the city he would find his way more easily, and he would go and wait for me in the main street that leads to Florence.
It was fortunate that he did not come to the post office with me; there were a lot of people who knew us, even English travelers. And, for added embarrassment, no one could leave because of the impossibility of getting horses.

The Grand Duke was about to arrive. Here I am again tormented by the idea that my son is waiting for me, that he will worry about not seeing me and may come and get me. My courier, by dint of money, convinces our drivers to take us to the next post office.

They agree, but want to stop for two hours to refresh their horses. We cannot stay in Siena, and it is outside the gates of the city, in a seedy cabaret, that they agree to take us.

但是我仍然必须穿越锡耶纳,每年我都经过那里去罗马。 在那里,如果我被另一个名字认出,那么一切都会被发现。 没有失去的时刻。 如果警察告诉佛罗伦萨我正在路过,我们可以在路上派警卫。 甚至我丈夫也可以给我寄一封信,以了解我的计划并告诉我他的计划; 因此,我必须在光天化日之下以我的名字毫不拖延地通过锡耶纳(Siena),并利用第二天的晚上,使我在另一条小路上再次失去了踪迹,只带了我的新护照。

我随时查阅的国家地图对我有很大帮助。 但是在锡耶纳,我的儿子必须躲藏起来。 大家都同意他会在镇前下楼,他会在城外转转,我会在出门的路上接他。

在执行该项目时,我记得锡耶纳非常陡峭,可能没有任何外部路径。 由于担心在所有警察为逃亡者的脚步而被逮捕和可能被逮捕时,我儿子独自一人在乡下,使我放弃了这个计划。

我更愿意看到他在找我护照的时候从门口掉下来,以为穿过城市他会更容易找到自己的路,然后去通往佛罗伦萨的大街上等我。 幸运的是他没有和我一起去邮局。 有很多认识我们的人,甚至包括英国旅行者。 而且,更为尴尬的是,没有人会因为不可能骑马而离开。

大公爵即将抵达。 在这里,我再次被儿子在等我的想法所折磨,因为他会担心看不见我并可能来接我。 我的快递员以点钱决定了我们的司机将我们带到下一个邮局。

他们同意,但要停留两个小时才能使马恢复活力。 我们不能留在锡耶纳,而在城门外,在一个糟糕的歌舞表演中,他们同意载我们。
