TWO:But her first impressions were very painful, notwithstanding her emotion when first she heard the people around her speaking French, saw the towers of Notre Dame, passed the barri��re, and found herself again driving through the streets of Paris.While she was still in Vienna, Lisette had been told by the Baronne de Strogonoff of the Greek supper at Paris, which she said she knew cost 80,000 francs.THREE:The guests were met at the park gates by young girls dressed in white, who gave them bouquets of flowers; they dined out of doors under the shade of chestnut-trees, while a band played airs from ��Richard C?ur-de-Lion,�� ��Castor et Pollux,�� etc.; [284] the only contretemps being a sudden gust of wind which took off the wigs of some of the guests: Robespierre amongst the number. Many beautiful women were present, but none could rival their lovely hostess.

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.
