Incense filled the church with its rich odors, and there was much going to and from the high altar. Of course we could understand but little, and there was such a crowd, I could not see half the time what was going on within the choir. I stood up in my chair to get a better view, and just as I fixed my glass to my eye, a soldier in the royal livery came along, and planted his gun directly before me, saying in loud tones, "Descendez s'il vous plait, " (get down, if you please, ) but I looked at ...him as though I did not understand, and kept my position. He repeated his command. I then said, " English, " thinking that he would let me remain on my plea of being a stranger, and not understanding what he said ; but it was of no avail. Perhaps if I had said "American, " I might have been left in undisputed possession of the chair ; but the word English has no charm for them, so down I had to get. LETTERS. 269 We saw the Queen and the Princess Clementine, the youngest daughter of Louis Philippe, at church.
