There were present MM. de Rémusat, de Tocqueville,
Girardin, Leon Faucher, a member of the English Parliament
and his wife, who is ugly but witty and has beautiful
teeth, Mme. Odilon Barrot and her mother.
Towards the middle of the dinner Louis Bonaparte arrived
with his cousin, the son of Jerome, and M. Abbatucci, Representative.
Louis Bonaparte is distinguished, cold, gentle, intelligent,
with a certain measure of deference and dignity, a
German air and black moustache; he bears no resemblance
whatever to the Emperor.
He ate little, spoke little, and laughed little, although
the party was a merry one.
Mme. Odilon Barrot seated him on her left. The Englishman
was on her right.
M. de Rémusat, who was seated between the prince and
myself, remarked to me loud enough for Louis Bonaparte
to hear:
"I give my best wishes to Louis Bonaparte and my vote
to Cavaignac."
Louis Bonaparte at the time was feeding Mme. Odilon
Barrot's greyhound with fried gudgeons.
