Note 62 — Chapter XVI · : THE CLOSING YEARS

This play was again unfavourably received when, in 1903, he submitted it to T. P.'s Weekly. It is thus set forth on his MS. title page:

NAPOLEON JUDGES A Tragedy in Two Scenes Dramatis Personæ.

Napoleon. General Augereau. Madame Lebrun (an opera-dancer, Augereau's Mistress). President of the Court Martial. A French Deserter. Officers. Soldiers.

Place.—Augereau's Camp. Time.—The Italian Campaign of 1796. During the first scene Napoleon is absent from Augereau's Camp.

Of another class is a modern comedy, full of laboriously smart give and take, called "Man Proposes, but Woman Disposes. Un Conte sans Raconteur. In Two Scenes."
