When he learned that she had accepted a. smaller pension from the emperor and rejected one from him so much larger, he requested a.reason forher doing so. She replied sarcastically, I prefer to hide under the wing of an eagle rather than hang from the neck of a gosling. Again Jerome advised. her that she might have a home in Westphalia. She sent him the reply, Your kingdom may b.e large, but it is not large enough for two queens. . 0 Herfame for Wit and repartee was international. There were a cutting vein of sarcasm and a pithiness of humor that made her conversation interesting by its brilliant and reckless malicious- ness. When she was ruthlessly shut out from the regal circles to which her husband belonged, it imbittered` her against the democratic herd. Neverthe- less. when she `visited Europe she was s the toast of the sa"zus and the center \ `of attraction in coart and diplomatic circles. _ _ , Napoleon absolutely refused to ac- knowledge the marrlage as valid and olfcred a pension of, 60,000 francs Va year for the support of ,Miss Patter- son. as he called her," if Jerome would persuade her to return to America. and abandon the name or Bonaparte.
