May 16, 1848, at 7 a.m.

A priest in a white robe holding a Bible appeared at Louis Mansion, and behind him were several muscular men in linen jackets, who were responsible for the display of Louis after the priest's prayers. The coffin of Napoleon's body was carried to a carriage outside the Louis mansion.

Due to the urgency of time, the original cumbersome etiquette was all streamlined, and everything was left to Louis. Napoleon reopened the French soil after stepping into France.

Father Francis came to Louis. Napoleon in front of Louis. Napoleon recites the prayer.

After the prayer was recited, Jérôme, as a family member. Bonaparte and Miss Howard, who was half of the family, looked affectionately at Louis in the coffin before closing it. Napoleon.

"May the Lord bless our brother! He will ...... with the Lord," the priest again babbled after a bunch of prayers.

The first stage of the funeral rite ends.

The strong man who had been waiting for a long time to carry the coffin made of sandalwood on his shoulder and slowly walked down the stairs. Bonaparte and the others followed the strong man carrying the coffin downstairs.

The Catholic chanting group on the first floor sang a farewell song arranged in Latin in unison after seeing the coffin slowly descending the stairs.

Several strong men carried the coffin onto the carriage, which moved slowly under the control of Fleury.

Jérôme. Bonaparte, Pessini, Tyran, Letty, Tocqueville, Lale, etc., followed behind the carriage to prove.

The carriage arrived at the London dockyard from the East End at about 9 a.m.

With the help (paid) of several dock workers, Louis. Napoleon's coffin was sent to the ship, which was to be carried from the London dockyard to Calais with Tocqueville and Bonaparte. The Bona faction, led by Ruet, was met by the republican representatives sent by Lamartine.

It is expected to arrive in France around May 20.

London Docks.

Jérôme watching the coffin on the ship. Bonaparte shook Tocqueville's hand and said, "Mr. Tocqueville, you have to worry about this journey!" ”

Anyway, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Pesini and said, "Pesini, my cousin's body will be handed over to you, and you must not cause trouble to Mr. Tocqueville!" ”

Pessini nodded in understanding.

For Jérôme. Tocqueville, who was unaware of Bonaparte's visit to Rome, also politely said: "Your Excellency, take care of yourself in London, too!" Prince Louis will leave the matter to me! ”

"Then it's trouble!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said sincerely.

Tocqueville and Jérôme. Bonaparte parted in an atmosphere of "reluctance".

Pessini boarded the ship with Tocqueville and others, and the ship departed a quarter past 10 a.m.

On the deck Pesini and Fleury waved their arms towards Jérôme. Bonaparte and Letty said goodbye.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also extended his hand in response.

The ship faded away and soon disappeared. Bonaparte turned away from the London docks.

Follow in Jérôme. Captain Letty, who was behind Bonaparte, whispered, "Your Highness, when are we leaving for Rome?" ”

"Let's go now!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said without hesitation.

"Well......" Letty was apparently killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte's aggressive behavior was taken aback.

After a brief moment of surprise, Letty cautiously asked, "Your Highness, should we wait two days for some necessary planning!" ”

"Captain Letty!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped and turned his head to look at Letty, who was gradually following, and said coldly: "Are you scared? ”

Captain Letty straightened his back and said firmly: "Your Highness, I have never been afraid of two words in my dictionary! Your orders are the reason for my existence! ”

"I believe in your loyalty! Captain, I command you to follow me now! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the order to Captain Letty.

"Yes!" Captain Ledi obeyed Jérôme. Bonaparte's command.

The two inquired all the way around the docks in London, and finally got the news.

A cargo ship from London to the port of Civitavecchia will depart at 3pm.

In Jérôme. At Bonaparte's negotiation, the captain of the cargo ship was finally willing to take the two men at a price of £15 (gold) per person, including accommodation and food.

Compared to the pre-revolutionary ticket, this ticket price is simply sky-high.

So much so that in Jérôme. After Bonaparte negotiated the price with the captain, he jokingly complained all the way: "Is the cargo ship made of gold or silver!" ”

The captain also complained bitterly that the Apennine Peninsula is not peaceful now, and he doesn't know if he can sell his goods, so in order to prevent losing money, the ticket can only be slightly more expensive.

At the captain's "gracious invitation", Jérôme. Bonaparte and Letty boarded the ship.

The cargo ship departed promptly at 3 p.m., standing on the plywood and looking out at the London dockyards. Bonaparte clenched his fists and muttered, "London, I'll be back!" Next time, I will definitely come in another capacity! ”

As for the Bonaparte family's sweeping work in London, Jérôme. Bonaparte gave full authority to Miss Howard.

……

Jérôme. Bonaparte had just left the land of London with his front foot.

Albert, who was sitting in his study at Windsor Castle and working on important documents, received the information.

"You mean Jérôme. Bonaparte guy left London for Civitavecchia? Albert asked the Home Secretary in front of him with a surprised expression.

"That's right!" The Home Secretary hurriedly explained: "This is based on the information obtained by my police follow-up investigation!" ”

"What is he doing in Civitavecchia?" Albert's lips pursed slightly, and his smooth, full forehead wrinkled with thought.

"This ......" to Jérôme. Bonaparte was limited to knowing that the Home Secretary certainly did not know Jérôme. Bonaparte's subject, he could only speculate: "Will you go to see the Pope?" ”

"I can't rule it out!" Albert responded, but he was still a little puzzled: "What did he go to see the Pope for?" Hasn't the relationship between his family and the Pope always been bad? ”

As the saying goes, without an investigation, there is no right to speak, and the Home Secretary is silent.

I really can't think of Jérôme. What did Bonaparte want to do simply no longer think, as long as Jérôme. Bonaparte did not touch the bottom line of the United Kingdom's interests, and Albert did not need to pay too much attention to him.

Someone as strong as Napoleon did not end up abdicating in the end.

Let it be!

Prince Albert said something in his heart.

Subsequently, he was scathing in his criticism of the Home Secretary for the problems in the United Kingdom's police system.

The Home Secretary reluctantly stated that he would continue to amend the Police Act and strive to make fewer mistakes.
