This
reply
of
Balashëv
's
,
which
hinted
at
the
recent
defeats
of
the
French
in
Spain
,
was
much
appreciated
when
he
related
it
at
Alexander
's
court
,
but
it
was
not
much
appreciated
at
Napoleon
's
dinner
,
where
it
passed
unnoticed
.
The
uninterested
and
perplexed
faces
of
the
marshals
showed
that
they
were
puzzled
as
to
what
Balashëv
's
tone
suggested
.
"
If
there
is
a
point
we
do
n't
see
it
,
or
it
is
not
at
all
witty
,
"
their
expressions
seemed
to
say
.
So
little
was
his
rejoinder
appreciated
that
Napoleon
did
not
notice
it
at
all
and
naïvely
asked
Balashëv
through
what
towns
the
direct
road
from
there
to
Moscow
passed
.
Balashëv
,
who
was
on
the
alert
all
through
the
dinner
,
replied
that
just
as
"
all
roads
lead
to
Rome
,
"
so
all
roads
lead
to
Moscow
:
there
were
many
roads
,
and
"
among
them
the
road
through
Poltáva
,
which
Charles
XII
chose
.
"
Balashëv
involuntarily
flushed
with
pleasure
at
the
aptitude
of
this
reply
,
but
hardly
had
he
uttered
the
word
Poltáva
before
Caulaincourt
began
speaking
of
the
badness
of
the
road
from
Petersburg
to
Moscow
and
of
his
Petersburg
reminiscences
.

After
dinner
they
went
to
drink
coffee
in
Napoleon
's
study
,
which
four
days
previously
had
been
that
of
the
Emperor
Alexander
.
Napoleon
sat
down
,
toying
with
his
Sèvres
coffee
cup
,
and
motioned
Balashëv
to
a
chair
beside
him
.
Napoleon
was
in
that
well-known
after-dinner
mood
which
,
more
than
any
reasoned
cause
,
makes
a
man
contented
with
himself
and
disposed
to
consider
everyone
his
friend
.
It
seemed
to
him
that
he
was
surrounded
by
men
who
adored
him
:
and
he
felt
convinced
that
,
after
his
dinner
,
Balashëv
too
was
his
friend
and
worshiper
.
Napoleon
turned
to
him
with
a
pleasant
,
though
slightly
ironic
,
smile
.
"
They
tell
me
this
is
the
room
the
Emperor
Alexander
occupied
?
Strange
,
is
n't
it
,
General
?
"
he
said
,
evidently
not
doubting
that
this
remark
would
be
agreeable
to
his
hearer
since
it
went
to
prove
his
,
Napoleon
's
,
superiority
to
Alexander
.
Balashëv
made
no
reply
and
bowed
his
head
in
silence
.

"
Yes
.
Four
days
ago
in
this
room
,
Wintzingerode
and
Stein
were
deliberating
,
"
continued
Napoleon
with
the
same
derisive
and
self-confident
smile
.
"
What
I
ca
n't
understand
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
is
that
the
Emperor
Alexander
has
surrounded
himself
with
my
personal
enemies
.
That
I
do
not
...
understand
.
Has
he
not
thought
that
I
may
do
the
same
?
"
and
he
turned
inquiringly
to
Balashëv
,
and
evidently
this
thought
turned
him
back
on
to
the
track
of
his
morning
's
anger
,
which
was
still
fresh
in
him
.
"
And
let
him
know
that
I
will
do
so
!
"
said
Napoleon
,
rising
and
pushing
his
cup
away
with
his
hand
.
"
I
'll
drive
all
his
Württemberg
,
Baden
,
and
Weimar
relations
out
of
Germany
...
Yes
.
I
'll
drive
them
out
.
Let
him
prepare
an
asylum
for
them
in
Russia
!
"
