To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the living-rooms had been long given up to persons belonging to the Court; they hastily quitted them on that day, leaving their furniture, which was purchased by the Court. The Comtesse de la Marck, sister to the Maréchaux de Noailles and Digitized by VjOOQIC 244 THE MEMOIRS OF de Mouchy, had occupied the apartments now appro^ priated to the Queen. Monsieur and Madame retired to the Luxembourg.
The Queen had sent for me on the morning of the 6th of October, to leave me and my father-in-law ...in charge of her most valuable property. She took away only her casket of diamonds. Comte Gouvernet de la Tour-du-Pin, to whom the military government of Versailles was entrusted pro tempore, came and gave orders to the National Guard, which had taken posses- sion of the apartments, to allow us to remove every- thing that we should deem necessary for the Queen's accommodation.
I saw her Majesty alone in her private apartments a moment before her departure for Paris; she could hardly speak; tears bedewed her face, to which all the blood in her body seemed to have rushed; she condescended to embrace me, gave her hand to M, Campan to kiss, and said to us, " Come immediately and settle at Paris; I will lodge you at the Tuileries; come, and do not leave me henceforward; faithful servants at moments like these become useful friends ; we are lost, dragged away, perhaps to death; when kings become prisoners they are very near it." I had frequent opportunities during the course of our misfortunes of observing that the people never entirely give their allegiance to factious leaders, but easily escape their control when some cause reminds them of their duty.
