He, too, had a life of affliction and tragedy, but his old age was one without honour; whereas the Empress was one that commanded the respect and sym- pathy of the whole civilised world, and notably in the country of her happiness and greatness, and in the country of her exile and adoption There was no longer an Emprise of the French in fact; but no chivalrous Frenchman denied to this great lady her title of old days.
