Summary
“A glory hound, perhaps,” muses Napoleon; maybe the man is not unlike himself.
“De Guignes did not seem to think so,” replies Murat. “The captain saved his nephew, I think; and by all accounts he is not a braggart.”
“That does not make him an honest man.” Though neither of them know what it does make him. “I should like to know more about him; he seems quite the interesting character, this Laurence.”
Or: William Laurence is not what Napoleon expects him to be.
