- Introduction Never since the days of Oliver Cromwell had any name caused so much fear in England as did that of Napoleon Bonaparte.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"No; I did not see Napoleon, and l still regret it. Poor Napoleon!... We did not like the English or the Prussians.... The next day we knew that Napoleon's power was broken, by the lines we heard the people singing," … and raising herself in her chair, the tottering old dame sang in a feeble voice: —
Les cannoniers bombardaient à feu et à flamme,
Les cuirassiers, les gardes d'honneur, sont renversés,
Bonaparte, enfin voilà ta fin. Il faut te rendre-
Te voilà battu, convaincu, tu n'en peux plus!
