Excerpt from Comtesse De Charny, Vol. 2 The marquis had been warned of this fact during the previous night by Cagliostro, and also about nine O'clock in the morning by the assistant superintendent of the prison. The hearing of the case had begun at nine O'clock that morning, and at three O'clock in the afternoon it was still going on. Ever since the doors Opened, the court-room had been thronged by a crowd eager to get a glimpse of the man upon whom sentence of death was to be pronounced; for every one felt that the prisoner's conviction was certain, for in political conspiracies there are unfortunates whose sacrifice is a foregone conclusion.

Excerpt from La Comtesse De Charny, Vol. 4 of 4 The dispersal of the crowd was as quiet and gradual as the invasion had been boisterous and alarming. Astonished at the meagre results of their day's work, the rioters began to say to one another: "We accomplished nothing. We shall have to go back again." Those who had fancied they could foresee what would happen, had judged the king by his reputation. They remembered how this monarch had appeared at Varennes clad like an upper servant, and prophesied that at the first intimation of danger Louis would hide under a table or in some closet or behind a curtain, and that somebody would stab him as if by accident, and then get off by saying, "How now I A rat?" as Hamlet says in the play when he slays Polonius behind the arras, thinking it is the tyrant of Denmark. The result, as far as Louis was concerned, had been quite the opposite. Never had the king appeared so calm, or, rather, so truly great. The insult had been colossal, but it had not exceeded his resignation or powers of endurance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from La Comtesse De Charny, Vol. 4 The evacuation of the Tuileries was as quiet and pensive as its invasion had been noisy and terrifying. Surprised at the meagre results of their day's work, the rioters began to say to one another: We got nothing! We shall have to go back again! Those who thought they foresaw what would happen, judged Louis Sixteenth by his reputation. They remem bered how the King appeared at Varennes, clad like a lackey. They prophesied that at the first alarm Louis would hide in some closet, under a table, or behind a curtain 3 that somebody would stab him by accident; and then get himself off by saying How now? A rat? As Hamlet says in the play, when he slays Old Polonius behind the arms, thinking it is his uncle, the tyrant of Denmark. It had turned out quite otherwise with Louis. Never was the King so calm. Nay, more Never had he been so great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
