M. De Mesnard undertakes to apprise Monsieur, and also the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme.
One of the first places to which the fatal news arrives is the salon of Marshal Suchet, Duke of Albufe'ra, where a magnificent ball is going on. The Duchess of Reggio, who is present, quits the ball-room in great haste. The dances are stopped.

Saturnalian lays But usher in the chant above the corse. " The guests of Madame de La Briche, the mother- in-law of the Count of Mole\ among whom were sev- eral members of the Prince's household, are in full 162 THE DUCHESS OF BEBRY masquerade when they learn the news.
