He had always, in his cabinet seven or eight pointer bitches, and was fond of feeding them, to make himself known to them. He was veryfond, too, of stag hunting; but in a caleche, since he broke his arm, while hunting at Fontainebleau, immediately after the death of the Queen. He rode alone in a species of "box, " draw...n by four little horses--withfive or six relays, and drove himself with an address and accuracyunknown to the best coachmen. His postilions were children from ten tofifteen years of age, and he directed them.
