The unhappy woman heard no more; she fainted, and was carried out. It is said, that the next day she received the brevet of a pension of 1200 francs. But even if so, ought she to have been made to purchase so dearly that which was in reality only the payment of a debt of gratitude?" "On the restoration of the Bourbons, with the exception of the dresses, nothing was changed at the Tuileries. There were the same persons in the same places. This gave rise to a bon-mot on the part of the Prince de Léon, who had not held any office under the emperor.
