FORE:This perilous state of affairs added to a letter Pauline received from her cousin, the Comtesse d��Escars, who had arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle, had seen M. de Beaune there, and heard him speak with bitterness and grief of his son��s obstinacy, which he declared was breaking his heart, at length induced him to yield to his father��s commands and his wife��s entreaties. He consented to emigrate, but stipulated that they should go to England, not to Coblentz, and went to Paris to see what arrangements he could make for that purpose. While he was away La Fayette and his wife passed through the country, receiving an ovation at every village through which they passed. The King had accepted the constitution, and La Fayette had resigned the command of the National Guard and was retiring with his family to his estates at Chavaniac, declaring and thinking that the Revolution was at an end.

She had had enough of it, and she began to feel that disgust and horror were taking the place of the frantic admiration she had entertained for it in former years.
