WATERLOO
Why had the Emperor been so late in getting into motion on the morning of the 16th? Why had he not started at five o'clock, and caught Zieten's corps unsupported? Why did he give Blücher time to concentrate? Why did he not press the attack farther on the evening of the day when the Prussians were in full retreat? Why did he fail to give Grouchy the customary order to pursue with all the cavalry?
