TWO:And he saw that his influence was declining and with it the love of the woman to whom he was still devoted.

TWO: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.

TWO:Lisette and her mother were turning back, but the Dauphine stopped them, and speaking in the kindest manner to them begged them to continue their walk wherever they liked.

TWO:The interview closed to the mutual satisfaction of the King and his grandson, neither of them with the slightest idea of any more serious calamity than the quarrels at court between the Houses of Lorraine and Savoy being likely to interfere with the secure and magnificent tranquillity of their lives. But it wanted only eighteen years and a few months to the fall of the Bastille, and though the small-pox cut short the life of Louis XV. before the evil days, they were seen by many of his courtiers as old or older than himself.

TWO:Besides, she educated her own two daughters, her nephew, C��sar Ducrest, whose mother died and whose father (her brother) was given a post at the Palais Royal, a young cousin, Henriette de Sercey, and later on one or two other children she adopted. But what caused considerable speculation and scandal was the sudden appearance of a little girl, who was sent, she said, from England, to speak English with the other children amongst whom she was educated. On perfectly equal terms with the Princes and Princesses of Orl��ans, petted and made much of by every one, she was, and still is supposed by many, perhaps by most people, to have been really the daughter of Mme. de Genlis and the Duc de Chartres. At any rate, no English relations were ever forthcoming, and it was never clearly established where she came from, except that she was announced to have been sent over from England at the request of the Duc de Chartres. She was remarkably beautiful and talented, and Mme. de Genlis brought her forward, and did everything to make her as affected and vain as she had been made herself.Three weeks after her arrival a letter from London brought the news that the Mar��chal de Mouchy and his wife, uncle and aunt of Mme. de Tess��, great-uncle and great-aunt of Pauline, had been guillotined on the 27th of June. For the crime of giving help to some poor priests they were arrested and sent to La Force, whence they were transferred to the Luxembourg where they were the object of universal reverence and sympathy. When, after a time, they were summoned to the Conciergerie, which was the vestibule of the tribunal, and was looked upon as the gate of death, the Mar��chal begged that no noise might be made as he did not wish Mme. la Mar��chal to know of his going, for she had been ill.

TWO:Soon after his accession the young Marquise de Pracontal, who was very pretty, very d��vote, and very timid, was presented to Louis XVI., who kissed her with such fervour on one cheek that she was dreadfully embarrassed and frightened; and was just going to kiss her other cheek, when the Duc d��Aumont threw himself between them, exclaiming in consternation that she was not a duchess.

TWO:MARIE DE VICHY-CHAMBRON, MARQUISE DU DEFFANDTheir first house in Paris was a sort of imitation cottage, after the execrable taste of the day, in the Champs-Elys��es, from which they moved into a h?tel in the rue de la Victoire, which was for some time the resort of all the chiefs of their political party, and the scene of constant contention between the Thermidoriens and the remnants of the Montagne. The discussions were generally political, and often violent; they would have been abhorrent to the well-bred society of former days.
