We are looking at whatever we can find relating to the Montholons. The story that makes sense so far is that they were a couple sent to exploit and murder Napoleon. If the arrows start pointing somewhere else, my perceptions will change.
These memoirs have been described by credible historian Frederic Masson in his book, Les Missionaires de St. Hélène, as “insignificant”.

When we last left off, after trapping Napoleon and his suite on a ship, the English government threw off the mask and said that Napoleon was now a prisoner. Napoleon’s faithful general Bertrand wasn’t sure he wanted to become a prisoner of the English government. One other matter of note is that the writer of these memoirs, Albine de Montholon, discusses Mme. Fanny Bertrand in this passage. They were known to be on bad terms.
…

[Napoleon said] “it's for you. If you leave me now, you will lose the reputation you have acquired on Elba.”

It was too true and too consistent with the feelings of the great Marshal not to be felt and to dominate in his heart any other affection, it eclipsed all regrets at distancing himself from an already old father and mother.
The happiness of his wife, who could not make up her mind to give up France and her family, also weighed heavily; but his hesitations could not stand against a word from the Emperor: he was therefore arrested and he would come.

We know that the Duke of Rovigo and General Lallemand were sentenced to death if they returned to France and, as a result of the system adopted to consider the Emperor as a prisoner of war, the English cabinet, instead of letting them go wherever they wanted, sent them as prisoners to Malta, as well as the officers who could not come to Saint Helena. We can judge what it was for the Duke to separate from the Emperor.
I had bonded with him on board, and since then I have always found him a faithful friend and I have known him to have many valuable qualities.
He often showed us a box on which were painted the portraits of his wife and children; he contemplated them with happiness: you could see how much he loved them.

XI MADAME BERTRAND

The position of General Bertrand, who had returned with his arms in hand, was also that he had France closed to him, which greatly irritated Madame Bertrand.
She could not help, one day when she was in a bad mood, to compare the two political causes which also banished her husband to the Duke, the first to have returned from the island of Elba, the second because he had, she said, tied a lantern to the Duke d'Enghien's chest [Savary, Duke de Rovigo, was wrongly blamed for the Duke d’Enghien’s botched execution].
This was atrocious slander that she recklessly repeated in a moment of despair. She was repeating something she had heard that was not true.
Also, the day of the scene, July 31, when she wanted to throw herself into the sea, the Duke was on the bridge, from where he saw her husband who was keeping her from the window of a cabin through which she could escape; he cried out to her, laughing: "Let go of her! Let her go!” We have often laughed since.

I will only say a word about the sorrow she felt at having England closed to us and for them to send us to Saint Helena.
In the evening after Admiral Keith's sad mission, she entered the Emperor's room and begged him not to take her husband.
The Emperor replied calmly that he did not force anyone to follow him and that it was rather for the Grand Marshal than for himself that he urged him to persevere.
The sorrow of having displeased the Emperor and the regret of leaving made this highly strung person lose her head, and, on leaving the Emperor's room, she wanted again to throw herself into the sea.
One must understand it was the effect of nerves. One shouldn’t maliciously represent and ridicule a moment of despair independent of the heart and character, however well excusable, and which proves nothing but a keen sensitivity

Bertrand’s attachment to the Emperor could not be doubtful: Miss Dillon is Creole and related, through her mother, to the Empress Josephine. The Emperor married her to General Bertrand, his aide-de-camp, and made her rich. She had enjoyed -

Nous examinons tout ce que nous pouvons trouver concernant les Montholons.

L'histoire qui a du sens jusqu'à présent est qu'ils étaient un couple envoyé pour exploiter et assassiner Napoléon.

Si les flèches commencent à pointer ailleurs, mes perceptions changeront.
Ces mémoires ont été décrits par l'historien crédible Frédéric Masson dans son livre, Les Missionnaires de Sainte-Hélène, comme «insignifiants».

La dernière fois que nous nous sommes arrêtés, après avoir piégé Napoléon et sa suite sur un navire, le gouvernement anglais a jeté le masque et a déclaré que Napoléon était maintenant prisonnier.

Le fidèle général de Napoléon, Bertrand, n'était pas sûr de vouloir devenir prisonnier du gouvernement anglais. Une autre question importante est qu'Albine de Montholon discute de Mme. Fanny Bertrand dans ce passage. Ils étaient connus pour être en mauvais termes.
