Mother: Dorothy (Dorcas) SPEAR |
Mr. Patterson behaved very harshly to his daughter, and in dying
only bequeathed her some houses and his cellar of wine. Jerome
sent her a thousand guineas on the birth of their son; he
subsequently offered her, after his second marriage, the
Principality of Smalcald, with $40,000 a year-an offer declined
in the words,
"Though Westphalia may be a considerable kingdom, it is not
large enough for two queens."
Napoleon was so pleased with this answer that he offered to
befriend her. She asked to be created a duchess, which was
promised, but the promised was never carried out. He forwarded
her $20,000 in cash, and allowed her an annuity of $12,000 till
he abdicated, permitting her to sign receipts "Eizabeth
Bonaparte."
Jerome taunted her with accepting money from his brother, but
she retorted that she preferred the shelter under the wing of an
eagle to shelter under the wing of a goose.
Talleyrand said, "If she were a queen, with what grace she would
reign"; and Gortschakoff, then a diplomatic debutant, observed,
if she had been "near the throne the allies would have found it
more difficult to depose Napoleon."
Madam Bonaparte lived a secluded life the latter part of her
life. She was a woman of intense vitality, and though several
times, notably in 1838, her life was despaired of, she recovered
to repeat her favorite prediction that she would live a hundred
years. She died on April 4, 1879, at the ripe age of
ninety-four."
