This perfect weather is a glorious backdrop for the spectacle about to take place at the Tuileries-a magnificent review of Napoleon's forces. In the crowd is Julie, who's excitedly dragging her father along to watch the spectacle. It's clear that she's there to see someone very specific-Colonel Victor D'Aiglemont.
