Excerpt from Joséphine: Empress and Queen
The memory of Josephine is so closely associated with those five years of her reign as Empress, when she played her part, appeared before the people and held her Court, that she too seems outside of the time-limit and gains by being perennial. She has left marks of her transitory pre sence in Paris, so many, so lasting, and so deep, that we fail to realize that she passed any part of those five years elsewhere than in the capital itself, with the brief interruptions of occasional visits to saint-cloud and Malmaison.
