In fact, although Adele, as I tell her, is very French at heart, the five years she passed in Derby have left a deep impression upon her.

She was very happy at school.

Every one, as she says, was kind to her; and the result is, that although she rejoices over our victories in Italy and Germany, she talks very little about the Flanders campaign; about which, by the way, were she even as French as possible, there would not be anything very pleasant to say." Rupert was at once furnished from the wardrobe of the marquis with clothes of all kinds, and as they were about the same height--although Rupert was somewhat broader and heavier--the things fitted well, and Rupert was able to go about Paris, without being an object of observation and curiosity by the people.
Rupert was somewhat disappointed in Paris.

Its streets were narrower than those of London, and although the public buildings were fine, the Louvre especially being infinitely grander than the Palace of Saint James, there was not anything like the bustle and rush of business which had struck Rupert so much on his arrival in London.
Upon arriving at Versailles, however, Rupert was struck with wonder.

Nothing that he had seen could compare with the stately glories of Versailles, which was then the real capital of France.
