She wasparticularly fond of solemnity, and the example of the Emperor, herfather, who had exhibited the extraordinary spectacle of his abdicationof the crown in this very city, seemed to have great attractions forher. As she was compelled to part with supreme power, she couldscarcely be blamed for wishing to do so with as much splendor aspossible. Moreover, she had not failed to observe how much the generalhatred of the duke had effected in her own favor, and she look...ed, therefore, the more wistfully forward to a scene, which promised to beat once so flattering to her and so affecting.
