Chapter 48 March 21, 1815: Napoleon Has Come Back!

Three weeks ago, I was sitting in the drawing room with Julie. She has been allowed to stay here, as my guest, although Joseph has gone to Switzerland. Count Rosen came in and said:

"Monsieur Fouche is here, you Highness."

I hate that man. But he always knows the latest news, so I told Rosen to bring him in.

"I hope I dont disturb Your Highness," said Fouche.

"Not at all," I replied. "I was writing a letter to His Majesty, and I dont like writing letters."

"Which Majesty?" Fouche asked.

"Which?" said Julie sharply. "King Louis XVIII, of course. Hes the only Majesty in France now, isnt he?"

"Last week he was. Today he isnt," Fouche answered with a mysterious smile.

I felt suddenly ill. My hand shook, and I had to put my teacup down. "What are you talking about, monsieur?" I asked.

"His Majesty, the Emperor Napoleon landed at Cannes on March the first. Hes already on the way to Paris."

"Napoleon is coming to Paris? Hes mad!" said Julie, "The army will drive him away. Theyll put him in prison."

"The army are marching with him, madame," said Fouche. "They havent been properly paid since he left France. He knew that when he decided to come."

I got up. "Please excuse me," I said. "I have a headache."

A hammer seemed to be knocking inside my head. I lay down on my bed, but the pain didnt stop. It got worse.

作品简介:

Bernadottes new position now takes Desiree to the royal court of Sweden. Life there is very hard for the silk merchants daughter who almost married Napoleon in Marseilles. She is happier in Paris, even without her family. But Napoleon is still jealous of her husband. When he and Desiree meet, there is always trouble. And when war comes again, the two men are on opposite sides.

Napoleon does at last, on the island of St Helena. He had terrible faults, said Desiree. But he was my first love--- and Im not ashamed of those days in Marseilles. She goes back to Sweden and there she is crowned: the first Queen of the royal family of Bernadotte.
