THREE:Many cases there were of romantic devotion and loyalty, by which the property of a family had been partly saved for the owners by their faithful servants. Such was the story of the Marquis de ¡ª¡ª, whose castle was burnt, and who with his wife perished in the flames. Their two boys managed to escape, but not together. One took refuge in England; the other in Germany, neither of them knowing of the existence of the other.¡°Robespierre is dead!¡±¡ª Notre Dame de Thermidor¡ªEnd of the Terror¡ªThe prisons open¡ªDecline of Tallien¡¯s power¡ªBarras¡ªNapoleon¡ª¡°Notre Dame de Septembre!¡±¡ªM.

FORE:Mme. de Clermont had been married at fifteen to the Comte de Choisi, who was much older than herself, and of whom she was dreadfully afraid; but he was killed at the battle of Minden, and she had just married the Comte de Clermont, who was deeply in love with her. She was young, pretty, very capricious, and a friend of Mme. de Montesson, and with all her faults never dull or tiresome, but full of merry talk and amusing stories; the Comtesse de Polignac and the Marquise de Barbantour were also among the ladies of the household [387] with whom F¨¦licit¨¦ was now associated; two much older ones were the Comtesses de Rochambault and de Montauban.
