text_original: Napoleon had swallowed the bait, and had allowed Bismarck to make his plans for the destruc  tion of Austria. But the rapid and complete success of Prussia entirely upset his calculations. He imagined — as did every one else — that the contest would be prolonged and indecisive, and that, after the exhaustion of both combatants, he would be able to step in and secure the appropriate reward of a benevolent and impartial arbitrator.
