M. Le Prince de Tingry, in the presence of the Queen, used to call her cousin. The ancient household of the Kings of France hadprerogatives acknowledged in the state. Many of the offices were tenableonly by those of noble blood, and were sold at from 40, 000 to 300, 000franca. A collection of edicts of the Kings in favour of the prerogativesand right of precedence of the persons holding office in the royalhousehold is still in existence. ] I was present at the Queen's dinner almost every day. T...he Emperor wouldtalk much and fluently; he expressed himself in French with facility, andthe singularity, of his expressions added a zest to his conversation. Ihave often heard him say that he liked spectaculous objects, when he meantto express such things as formed a show, or a scene worthy of interest. He disguised none of his prejudices against the etiquette and customs ofthe Court of France; and even in the presence of the King made them thesubject of his sarcasms. The King smiled, but never made any answer; theQueen appeared pained.
