There was consternation in the Council Chamber in London when the Duke of Wellington entered and announced that Napoleon was in Paris, and all must be done over again! Immediate preparations were made for a renewal of the war.

All France was at his feet.
The decisive moment was at hand.

Napoleon had crossed into the Netherlands, and Wellington was waiting to meet him.
The struggle at Waterloo had lasted many hours.

The result, so big with fate, was trembling in the balance, when suddenly the booming of Prussian guns was heard, and Wellington was re-enforced by Bluecher.
This was the end.
