The Emperor seemed less sad, and this in turn reacted upon his suite. One might almost have said that he had just returned from his country-seat, and was about to settle down to town life again.

I was extremely curious to get from him all details concerning Madame Bonaparte and the First Consul previous to my entering their service, and during our frequent interviews he most obligingly endeavoured to satisfy my curiosity. I am indebted to him for the following particulars respecting Madame and her daughter. When General Bonaparte left tor Egypt, Madame Bonaparte accompanied him as far as Toulon. She was most anxious indeed to go to Egypt with him, and when the General objected, she reminded him that, being a creole, the hot climate would be favourable to her rather than harmful, and by a strange coincidence it was in the Pomone that she wished to make the crossing; that is, in the same vessel which had brought her, when a girl, from Martinique to France. Acceding, at length, to his wife's request, the General promised to send the Pomone for her, telling her to go...

Download or read book Memoirs of Constant First Valet de Chambre to the Emperor written by Louis Constant Wairy and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis Constant Wairy, mainly known as Constant through-out his life and as the author of his memoirs, was a man intimately connected to General Bonaparte and his wife Josephine Beauharnais, and later in their incarnation as Emperor and Empress of the French. Achieving the rank of first valet de chambre to the Emperor after the previous incumbent Louis Marchand, who also wrote a memoir of his experiences shadowing Napoleon, had abandoned him in 1814. A definite admirer of the Emperor, his place in the Emperor’s household allowed access to the Great man and as he says himself; “From the departure of the First Consul for the campaign of Marengo, whither I attended him, until the departure from Fontainebleau, where I was obliged to leave the Emperor, I was absent from him only twice, the first time for three times twenty-four hours, the second for seven or eight days. Aside from these brief holidays, the last of which was necessary in order to restore my health, I quitted the Emperor no more than his shadow did.” For this reason alone ensures that the memoirs which he wrote, and although not quite the “warts and all” portrait that Constant might have us believe it is of capital interest to the general reader and the Napoleonic enthuasiast.
