I told you that the emperor, out of regard for his future ally, the Emperor Francis, did not have him executed.

He simply imprisoned him and punished him only by compelling him to witness the execution.

He will leave it to the Emperor Francis to pronounce sentence of death upon the assassin." "He lives?
You will swear that he lives ?" she asked breathlessly.
"I will swear that he lives, and that he will live until the return of the courier whom Count Bubna, who is in Schoenbrunn attending to the peace negotiations--has sent to Totis to the Emperor Francis." The Baroness de Simonie bounded like a tigress through the room, tearing at the bell till it sounded like a tocsin and the servants came rushing in terror from the anteroom.
"My carriage--it must be ready in five minutes!" she cried.

The servants ran out and Leonore darted across the room, tore open the door of the adjoining chamber, opened a wardrobe in frantic haste, and dragged out a cloak, which she flung over her shoulders.
"In heaven's name, Leonore, are you out of your senses ?" asked her father, who had hurried after her and now seized her arm.

"What do you mean to do?
Where are you going ?" "To the Emperor Napoleon!" she cried loudly.
