ONE:[85] FORE:Against the saintly Marquise de Montagu no breath of scandal could ever be spoken. Such calumnies as were spread against Mme. Le Brun, the work of the revolutionists, who hated her only for her religion and loyalty, never believed by those whose opinion would be worthy of consideration, soon vanished and were forgotten.

ONE:as she sang these words she laid her hand upon [61] her heart and, turning to the Queen��s box, bowed profoundly. As this was in the beginning of the Revolution, there were many who wished to revenge themselves in consequence, and tried to force her to sing one of the horrible revolutionary songs which were then to be heard constantly upon the stage. She refused indignantly, and left the theatre. Her husband, Dugazon, the comic actor, on the contrary, played an atrocious part during the Revolution. Although he had been loaded with benefits by the royal family, especially the Comte d��Artois, he was one of those who pursued them to Varennes. Mme. Le Brun was told by an eye-witness that he had seen this wretch at the door of the King��s carriage with a gun upon his shoulder. FORE:The peace of Amiens had just been signed, society was beginning to be reorganised. The Princess Dolgorouki who, to Lisette��s great joy, [149] was in Paris, gave a magnificent ball, at which, Lisette remarked, young people of twenty saw for the first time in their lives liveries in the salons and ante-rooms of the ambassadors, and foreigners of distinction richly dressed, wearing orders and decorations. With several of the new beauties she was enchanted, especially Mme. R��camier and Mme. Tallien. She renewed her acquaintance with Mme. Campan, and went down to dine at her famous school at Saint Germain, where the daughters of all the most distinguished families were now being educated. Madame Murat, sister of Napoleon, was present at dinner, and the First Consul himself came to the evening theatricals, when ��Esther�� was acted by the pupils, Mlle. Auguier, niece of Mme. Campan, afterwards wife of Marshal Ney, taking the chief part.

ONE:Though he painted this portrait in haste, with tears in his eyes, it was one of the best ever done by Isabey. [35]

THREE:Mme. de Valence seems to have accepted the situation, but by no means with the Griselda-like ��satisfaction�� of her sister. Very soon her reputation much resembled that of her husband, and many were the anecdotes told to illustrate the manners and customs of their m��nage.When first Madame Victoire appeared at court her sisters, Henriette and Ad��la?de, and her brother the Dauphin, who were inseparable, were inclined to find her in the way and treat her as a child, but they soon became very fond of her, and she at once had her own household and took part in all the court gaieties as her sisters had done from the earliest age.

ONE:The commandant, Baron Vounianski, received them with great kindness, and suddenly as she raised her veil, exclaimed ��Ah, Princess!�� At first she feared he recognised Mademoiselle d��Orl��ans, but soon found out that an extraordinary likeness to a Moravian, Princess von Lansberg, made him suppose her to be that person, and no denial on her part altered his conviction. He gave them a supper [441] �� la Hongroise enough for twenty people, and while it was going on talked of public affairs with violent expressions of hatred and curses against the Duke of Orl��ans. Mademoiselle d��Orl��ans grew paler and paler, and Mme. de Genlis was in terror lest she should faint or in any way betray herself, but she did not.The Mar��chale d��Etr��e, daughter of M. de Puisieux, died, and left all her large fortune, not to the spendthrift Marquis de Genlis, but to the Count, who, finding himself now very rich, wished to retire from the Palais Royal and live on his estates, and tried to induce his wife to accompany him. He said with truth that her proper and natural place [412] was with him, and he tried by all means in his power to persuade her to do what one would suppose a person constantly talking of duty, virtue, self-sacrifice, and the happiness of retirement, would not have hesitated about.

THREE:Shortly afterwards, passing his father in the great gallery at Versailles, the Duc de Richelieu said to him��The characters of the four heroines form as strong a contrast as their circumstances, principles, and surroundings.

ONE:Having decided to stop at Turin and wait for further news, she took a little house in a vineyard near the town. M. de Rivi��re lodged with her, and gradually recovered amongst the peaceful surroundings. [116] Even the sight of the honest, quiet, peaceable peasants did them good. They walked among the vineyards, or in a neighbouring wood, where steep paths led to little churches and chapels, in which they attended mass on Sundays; and Lisette resumed her work, painting amongst other things a picture, ��Une baigneuse,�� which she sold at once to a Russian prince, and a portrait of his daughter as a present to Signor Porporati.The concierge did not half like this, but winter was coming on and a pavilion in the middle of a large garden was difficult to let.

��You wouldn��t believe,�� she said to Lisette, who came to see her at eight o��clock one evening, and found her alone, ��that I have had twenty people to [153] dinner to-day? They all went away directly after the coffee.��

The Queen had bad health and saw very little of them, although she loved them in her apathetic way, but she was too much occupied with her devotions, her nerves, and her health to trouble herself much about them. If there was going to be a thunder-storm, or she was nervous and could not go to sleep, she would make one of her ladies sit by her bed all night, holding her hand and telling her stories. On [168] one occasion, after the death of the King��s mistress, the Duchesse de Chateauroux, she was dreadfully afraid lest she should see her ghost, and so tormented the lady-in-waiting who sat by her, that she at last exclaimed��Neither of the young wives were altogether fortunate, for some years later two beautiful Polish girls, whose father had been killed in the Polish war, were brought by their mother to the Russian court. The eldest and prettiest was only sixteen, and was married to Prince Narischkin, but the overpowering passion which she inspired in the Emperor Alexander is well known; whilst her sister captivated the terrible Constantine.At Cologne Pauline met her cousin, the Comtesse de Brissac, still in mourning for their relation the Duc de Brissac, late Governor of Paris, and Colonel of the Cent-Suisses, murdered in the streets of Versailles.
