To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The story is well known — it is told by De Goncourt him- self — how one day when Edmond de Goncourt had spoken rudely to her before her guests and, becoming penitent, had apologised to her with tears in his eyes, she threw her arms about him, kissed him on both cheeks, and cried : " Of course I forgive you. You know how I am attached to you. I too have been nervous and upset lately. " It was not, however, merely an amiable eccentricity of this kind which laid her open to the attacks of enemies.... Her freedom of language even (wherein she approached her brother, though she was more witty where he was more coarse) was not her worst point. Her standard of morality might be called Bohemian and was certainly characteristically Napoleonic. She had a grievance against the profligate, Demidoff"; mitigated, it is true, by the fact that he was obliged by the Tsar to settle on her 200, 000 francs a year. But her own conduct 124 The Last Empress of the French after the separation was loose, and her no- torious relations with the good-looking young sculptor, Count Nieuwerkerke, ^ were not her only lapse from a by no means rigid stan- dard which Court society was supposed to observe.
