They placed them in the depth of the window. They wheeled in front of this the council table. Preserving a noble and becoming demeanour in this dreadful situation, she held the Dauphin before her, seated upon the table. Madame was at her side. " A young girl, of pleasing appearance and respectably attired, came forward and bitterly reviled in the coarsest terms I'Autrichienne. The Queen, struck by the contrast between the rage of the young girl and the gentleness of her face, said to her in a kind tone, ' Why do you hate me ? Have I ever done you any injury ? ' ' No, not to me.' replied tbe pretty patriot ; ' but it is you who cause the misery of the nation.' ' Poor cljild ! ' replied the Queen, ' some one has told you so, and deceived you. What interest can I have in making the people miserable? The wife of the King, mother of the Daupliiu, I am a Frencliwoman in all the feel- ings of my heart as a wife and mother. I shall never again see my own country. I can only be happy or unhappy in France. I was happy when you loved me.' This gentle reproach affected the heart of the young girl, and her anger was effaced ; she asked the Queen's pardon, saying, ' I did not know you, but I see that you are good.' " 48 in. by 56 in.
