One evening, at the Tuilcries, General L — : — arrives. Napoleon shakes his hand and notices that drops of water glisten on the gilt em- broideries. He turns and orders the first chamber- lain he sees to find out in what carriage the general came. Soon he is informed that he came in a cab; numbered conveyances not being admitted in the court of the Tuileries, the general had gone a short distance on foot, which explains the presence of the raindrops. The next day a chamberlain comes to the hous...e of the man with the wet coat. " The Emperor requests me. Monsieur, to offer you this carriage, these horses ; the finest to be found in Paris. The coachmen and laquais have been paid for a year. Here is the bill of cost; the amount will be deducted from your pay." General Friant was not only a very brave man, but besides a very good man whom everybody liked. .When the officers of the corps made him a visit, he made us no speech; he was not a phraseologist by nature, he spoke but little, but what he said NAPOLEON'S ARMY 197 always made an impression, because it came from the heart.
