" He was right from his point of view, for he had none of the _jeu_ and all of the _chandelle_. I pined andpouted the whole day, and considered myself the most down-trodden mortalin existence. Imagine my delight, a few days later, to receive a second document, informing us that our names had been re-entered on the list, and that wewere expected, all the same, on the 27th to stay nine days. At the sametime there came a note from the Duke de Persigny, in which he said, "TheirMajesties desired us ...particularly to come. " And he added: "Tell yourfather-in-law that the question of pourboires has been settled now andforever. No more pourboires to be given nor taken at Compiegne. " Then Mr. M---- gave his consent, and I was blissfully happy. It seems that the Emperor's attention had been railed to the many verydisagreeable articles in the newspapers on the subject of the extravagant_pourboires_ exacted at Compiegne. The Emperor was very much annoyed, and gave immediate orders to suppress this system, which had been going onfor years without his knowledge.
