Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Vol. 2 of 3: Liberty and Personal, With Observation on Men and Things The triumphal arches were erecting to greet the entrance of the too noted Duchess de Berry, just married to the Duke. We stayed three or four days only in Paris. Returning, via Pontoise, we again dined off our former fare, with mixed company, including two or three British officers. We sat at table too long to think of proceeding, slept, and finding my friend would not move the next morning, I rode home alone. He had met an old Peninsular brother officer. In two days, my companion returned, riding his horse so hard in a burning August day, that it died in consequence. It was the last of four he had taken with him to Spain. Had the horse been mine, I should never have forgiven myself, for it was a noble animal. The crown and people of France, the creatures of revolutionary progress, stood high in the hopes and fears of Europe at that moment.
