Thus the rules pre- scribed by the Emperor neither surprised nor displeased her. One of these rules was, that she should receive no male visitors. Paer was the only exception, because he was her music-master; and yet it was ordered that one of the Empress's ladies should be present while she received her lesson. One day, while the court was at St. Cloud, the Emperor unexpectedly presented himself in the Empress's apart- ments. He perceived a man whose countenance he did not at first recognise. ...This violation of his rule displeased him, and he expressed himself rather angrily to the dame de service, who I think was Madame Brignole. She replied that the gentleman was Bennais, * who had come himself to explain the secret spring of a serre-papier which he had been making for her Majesty. " No matter, " said the Emperor, " he is a man. My orders on this subject must not be departed from, or we shall soon have no rules. " CHAPTER XXXVIII.
