. . . He had not thought it possible to ascertain the public mind with certainty in the middle of Paris ; but on his journey 222 A FRIEND OF THE QUEEN he had ascertained that it was favourable to the Constitution. ... So soon as he learned what the public feeling really was, he had sacrificed his personal interests without hesi- tation to the welfare of the people, and he would gladly forget all the annoyances (des- agrements) that he had undergone if he could secure the peace and happiness of ...the nation. Marie Antoinette was also interrogated, and she made the following declaration : "The King being desirous to go away with his children, nothing in nature could have prevented me from accompanying him. I have sufficiently proved for two years past that I would never leave him. That which made me still more determined was the positive assurance that the King did not intend to go out of the kingdom; if he had desired to do so, I would have done all in my power to prevent him. " That these declarations did not carry convic- tion of their truth to anybody was their least defect.
