It required great practice. He talked fast, all in a breath, made no pauses, and was impatient if he were called on to repeat. In order to have me always at his disposal, the Emperor gave me leave to hunt in the park of Saint- Cloud. His Majesty had been so kind as to notice that I was very fond of hunting, and in granting me this privilege he deigned to tell me that he was glad to have hit upon this means of reconciling my pleasure with his convenience. I was the only 122 MEMOIRS OF CONSTANT p...erson who had permission to hunt in the park. At the same time the Emperor made me a present of a superb double-barrelled gun which had been given him at Lidge, and which I have still in my possession. His Majesty did not like double- barrelled guns for his own use, but availed himself of some small single-barrelled ones which had be- longed to Louis XVI., and on which that monarch, an excellent gunsmith, was said to have worked with his own hands. The sight of his guns often led the Emperor to speak of Louis XVL, and he never did so without feeling and expressing respect and pity for him.
