Alas !
said the god of dancing, with a heart wounded, and tears in his eyes, this is the. Jirst squabble of our house with the family of the Bourbons ! To hear the public, or if I may be permitted to speak 1784 MEMOIRS AND ANECDOTES. 233 in a style less elevated though with more truth, to hear our simpletons of Paris, we should think the honour of the whole nation compromised ; forgetful of the distance between the first of dancers, and the lowest step of the throne, some had the folly to say t...hat the young man had disobeyed the orders of the Queen, and deserved to be driven from the theatre and the kingdom. On the other side, the Vestris complained of injustice and calumny ; the son declares if they do not restore him to liberty, or if they persist in demanding an ignominious apology, he will never appear again on the boards of the theatre; the father threatens to quit France with all his august house; pamphlets, sarcasms, cari- catures pour down on all sides ; at last after having seen the greatest powers of the world take part in this illustrious quarrel, the Oueen herself had the goodness to allay the storm, to engage the Baron de Breteuil to take no further notice of the mat- tter, and to restore this wild youth to liberty, who had in fact committed no other offence than that of refusing to present himself to the notice of the Comte de Haga, without a certainty of justify- ing the opinion which he had received of his supe- rior talent.
