The servant who delivered the invitation returned to the Tuileries Palace to report back to Bashirio and informed him that Baron James Rothschild had returned to Germany.
"What? Baron James Rothschild has left?" Bashirio, upon hearing that Baron James Rothschild had already left Paris, displayed an expression of surprise and said to the servant.
"Yes, Chief Steward!" the servant dutifully responded to Bashirio.
"Since Baron James Rothschild has already left, then how did your invitation reach him!" Bashirio continued to ask.
"Chief Steward, although Baron James Rothschild has departed, his son, Alphonse Rothschild, has not left!" the servant responded to Bashirio.
"Oh, right!" Bashirio suddenly realized, "Look at my memory; Alphonse Rothschild is still there!
Well then! You may return to your work now!"
Bashirio waved his hand to dismiss the servant, then proceeded alone to the study to report the situation to Jerome Bonaparte.
