De Montalivet, however, did not accept this honor unconditionally, saying to the Emperor Your Majesty knows my belief regarding a woman's duty in this world the favor which you have had the goodness to accord me, and which many will envy, would seem to me a misfortune if it prevented me from attending my husband when he has the gout, or nursing my children when Prov idence gives me any.
