ONE:The story of her exile is indeed a contrast to that of Mme. Le Brun, who, with none of her advantages of rank and fortune, nothing but her own genius, stainless character, and charming personality, was welcomed, fted, and loved in nearly every court in Europe, whose exile was one long triumphant progress, and who found friends and a home wherever she went.For the only consolation was that now the monsters were turning on each other; there were, in fact, more republicans than royalists in the [327] prisons.
