He imagined he had to deal with a vain woman who would be ready to do anything for the sake of recovering the crown, which had been the ornament of her pretty head. Far from falling into this trap, the Empress burst out into splendid and flaming anger.
" A blank order ! . . . I must give him a blank order, truly ! Why, it is our honour they are asking for ! " She had bitter words for the generals in Metz, who, in order to avoid a capitulation, had added their in- sistence to the injunctions of ...the enemy. General Boyer hung his head without saying a word, but his humble silence was eloquent. It recalled to the Empress all that those hundred thousand brave men had suffered, who to- day were dying of hunger and who to-morrow would give up their arms and be scattered amongst the German fortresses.
Those days were terrible, and I venture to say that this was the supreme and agonizing crisis of her life. On the Fourth of September her duty was plain; this time she debated in an agony of doubt and anxiety, at one time deciding to break off all negotiations, at another brought back by her own thoughts, or by a word from one of her counsellors, to the idea that Prussia was perhaps sincere in her declared intention not to treat with the Republican Government because it had no guarantees to offer, or any organized force by which to maintain order and enforce the acceptance of peace.
