"That's right! As the second-largest nation in Central Italy, after the Pope State, having him as an envoy will not disgrace his title of Prince!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Empress Augusta, "Moreover, it would get him away from Paris!"
At this point, Jerome Bonaparte paused and, with a hint of apology, said to Augusta, "However, this appointment requires you, as Empress, to convey it for me! It's really troublesome for you!"
Augusta shook her head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "It's nothing! We shouldn't even distinguish between each other!
