MARIE ANTOINETTE.



her bonnet partially shaded her face, she was besought
to remove it, that she might be better seen. She
granted the request. Royalty was no longer more
than a plaything, with which the people amused
themselves before breaking it. The women who yes-
terday hung on to the steps of the royal carriage,
clung fast to its doors, and leaned over Marie Antoi-
nette, trying to touch her, to soil her with their
breath, were now in parley with her.

"Send away from you," said one, "all these cour-
tiers who ruin kings. Love the inhabitants of your
good city."

" I loved them at Versailles," replied the Queen ;
" I will love them just the same at Paris."

" Yes, yes, " said another ; " but on the fourteenth
of July you wanted to besiege the city and have it
bombarded."

" You were told so," answered the Queen, " and
you believed it. It was that which caused the woes
of the people and of the best of kings."

A third woman addressed the sovereign in Ger-
man.

" German ! " said Marie Antoinette ; " I no longer
understand it. I have become so thorough a French-
woman that I have even forgotten my mother-
tongue."

There was a burst of applause. The women asked
the Queen for the flowers and ribbons on her bonnet.
She unfastened them herself and gave them away.
The throng cried, "Long live our good Queen!"
