II, p. 438.
> Ibid., Vol. IV, p. 27.
JOSEPHINE AT NAVARRE 225 named the two persons whom the empress wished to sit by her side during the repast. An absurd number of servants always served these repasts in magnificent style in the richest of plate. Four major-domos, two stewards and a butler stood in the dining-room throughout the meal. Each guest had a footman behind his chair.
There were not only two footmen behind the empress, but what is more, a Basque, a page, and a major-domo who acted as
... head-cook and superintendent of the household !
After breakfast everyone went to walk in the park, and bread was thrown to the pheasants, guinea-fowls, and the rare birds in the aviaries ; the gold-fish and the slimy old carp in the ponds were not forgotten : this was the chief amusement of the day ! At other times, when the weather was fine, they drove ; at two o'clock the empress used to get into her carriag;e and her ladies took their seats in the long line of carriages which looked exactly like a procession of wedding-coaches except that they were escorted by a detachment of cuirassiers ; an officer galloped on one side of the empress's equipage while an equerry, in full dress, rode on the other side.
