For Napoleon, as the conqueror of her country, she entertained ao intense feeling of hatred. In 1809 she was compelled by her mother to accompany her to the Emperor's review of his Imperial Guards at Schonbrunn; but when he approached the ground she indignantly turned her back. Her mother struck her, and by sheer force held the head of her obstinate daughter towards Napoleon* She resolutely shut her eyes, and thus was able to sa> that she had never seen her country's oppressor. It was a day of ...sorrow for Ida when she was forced to assume the dress of her sex. She fell ill with grief and disappointment, and her parents found it necessary to allow her to retain the boy's blouse and cap, to which she was so partial. Then, as if by magic, she recovered, and resumed her favourite games. She acknowledges that feminine work filled her with contempt Pianoforte- playing, amongst other things, seemed an occupation so inappropriate and uncongenial, that to escape those odious " exercises " — which thousands of girls, by the way, have 'found -equally distasteful — she would frequently cut and wound her fingers severely.
