[The Dauphine could not understand the first allusion of the Duchess; but it is evident that the vile intriguer took this opportunity of sounding her upon what she was commissioned to carry on in favour of Louis XV., and it is equally apparent that when she heard Marie Antoinette express herself decidedly in favour of her young husband, and distinctly saw how utterly groundless were the hopes of his secret rival, she was led thereby to abandon her wicked project; and perhaps the change of apartments was the best mask that could have been devised to hide the villany.] It was during the time when Madame de Pompadour directed, not only the King, but all France with most despotic sway, that the union of the Archduchess Marie Antoinette with the grandson of Louis XV. keywords: antoinette; cardinal; court; daughter; dauphine; empress; france; king; louis; madame; marie; mother; princess; queen; royal; theresa; time cache: 3878.txt plain text: 3878.txt item: #5 of 8 id: 3879 author: Du Hausset, Mme. title: Memoirs of the Courts of Louis XV and XVI. — Volume 4 Being secret memoirs of Madame Du Hausset, lady's maid to Madame de Pompadour, and of the Princess Lamballe date: None words: 18411 flesch: 60 summary: The Queen, with His Majesty's consent, has nominated you, my dear Princess (embracing me), superintendent of her household.

The King embraced the Queen, begged she would tranquilise herself, calmed the fears of the two ladies, thanked the gentlemen for the interest they took in his favour, and returned to the council, who, in his absence, had determined on his going to the Hotel de Ville at Paris, suggesting at the same time the names of several persons likely to be well received, if His Majesty thought proper to allow their accompanying him. keywords: assembly; day; elizabeth; family; france; french; good; highness; king; lamballe; madame; majesty; mirabeau; moment; national; order; paris; party; people; person; place; princesse; queen; royal; time; versailles cache: 3881.txt plain text: 3881.txt item: #8 of 8 id: 3882 author: Lamballe, Marie Thérèse Louise de Savoie-Carignan, princesse de title: Memoirs of the Courts of Louis XV and XVI. — Volume 7 Being secret memoirs of Madame Du Hausset, lady's maid to Madame de Pompadour, and of the Princess Lamballe date: None words: 22153 flesch: 68 summary: If my inviolable duty and unalterable attachment to my Sovereigns, who are my relations and my friends; if love for my dear father and for my adopted country are crimes, in the face of God and the world I confess my guilt, and shall die happy if in such a cause!

The Princesse de Lamballe was, while it was permitted, the companion of their captivity. keywords: day; elizabeth; family; france; general; good; great; highness; king; lamballe; left; like; majesty; man; national; palace; paris; princesse; queen; royal; time; tuileries cache: 3882.txt plain text: 3882.txt
