ONE:Weeks passed away and still no one came from the Duc d��Orl��ans; Mme. de Genlis wrote several times, and he always begged her to wait a few days longer.��I have received some news which fills me with joy; I hear the King has escaped from France, and I have just written to him, only addressing��To His Majesty the King of France. They will know very well where to find him,�� she added smiling. THREE:In the evening Catherine II. died and Paul arrived. Lisette hardly dared leave the Princess Dolgorouki��s, to go home, as every one was saying there would be a revolution against Paul. The streets were filled with people, but there was no [138] disorder. The crowds reassembled next day before the palace of Catherine, calling her their mother, with cries and tears.The camp of Dumouriez lay close at hand, and he had been very good to them; but there would probably be fighting very shortly, and it was said that he and many of his officers had been proscribed by the Convention. It would, she thought, be safer for Mademoiselle d��Orl��ans to go and give herself up at Valenciennes, when she would most likely only be exiled, if that; than to be taken with Mme. de Genlis, as they would then be sent prisoners to Valenciennes and to the scaffold. And it was a great chance if they could pass the French posts.

ONE:E. H. BearneROBESPIERRE was dead, and Tallien, for the time, reigned in his stead; and with him and over him, T��r��zia, or, as she may be called, Mme. Tallien, for although Tallien before spoke of her as his wife, it was only after the 9th Thermidor that some sort of marriage ceremony was performed. But the name she now received, amongst the acclamation of the populace, was ��Notre Dame de Thermidor.�� For it was she who had brought about the deliverance of that day; for her and by her the Terror had been broken up; and although the Thermidoriens, led by Tallien, Barras and Fr��ron, had re-established or continued the Comit�� de Salut Public, the greater number of the blood-stained tyrants who ruled the Revolution still remained, and many horrors and tyrannies for some time longer went on; still there was at once an enormous difference. The revolutionary gang had, of course, [336] not altered its nature, those of whom it was composed were the same, cruel, remorseless, and steeped in crimes; but however much they wished it they could not continue to carry on the terrorism against which the anger of the populace was now aroused.

THREE:She did not bear the title, which indeed would not then have been permissible; but the well-known [455] arms and blue liveries of Orl��ans re-appeared on her carriages and in her h?tel, the royal arms of Orl��ans were embroidered on the fine Saxon linen of her household, the gold plate and delicate S��vres china denounced by the Terrorists was to be seen at the princely entertainments at her h?tel in the rue de Provence, where everything was done with the stately magnificence of former days, and whither every one of the old and new society was eager to be presented.But besides their hostility to religion, the private characters of these philosophers did not, in many cases, by any means correspond with their writings and professions.

THREE:Society was so full of French refugees that [142] Lisette remarked she could almost fancy herself in Paris.

FORE:A new era of prosperity, though of quite a different kind from the luxury, excitement, and splendour of her earlier life, now began for Mme. de Genlis. She opened a salon which was soon the resort of most of the interesting and influential people of the day. In the society of the Consulate and Empire [457] her early opinions and proceedings were not thought about, and her literary reputation was now great; and besides countless new acquaintances many of her old friends were delighted to welcome her again.
