Thomas Costain is alwaysreadable, and his insight into Napoleon's character is first-rate. I love all the conversations Bonaparte has with Betsy. It's delightful.

Napoleon is now telling Betsy about his family and Corsica (what a large brood of children). Pauline's stories seem to be stealing the show...

"You have to make allowances for demigods-especially when they're forced to live on earth. And of course he's getting worse because he's being treated so badly here."
