Seeing that attention was being attracted to them, the Chevalier in despair put his arm into that of the Marquis, saying¡ªWith calmness they received the order to go to the Conciergerie, which was, they knew, their death sentence. When they were sent for, the Duchess, who was reading the ¡°Imitation of Christ,¡± hastily wrote on a scrap of paper, ¡°My children, courage and prayer,¡± put it in the place where she left off, and gave the book to the Duchesse d¡¯Orl¨¦ans to give to her daughters if her life were spared.
