Goezman lost his place, and the Parlement Maupeou was a short time afterwards abolished, while Beaumarchais, from having been almost a convicted forger, was now looked upon as the hero of the hour, and became the most popular man in Paris. We have told this story at some length because it illus- trates not only the extraordinary skill and adroitness of Beaumarchais in getting out of scrapes, but also the manner in which he made them contribute to his one object in life, — and ' ' The Lost Milli...on. " 25 his intense desire to keep the public eye fixed upon himself. His exploits of this sort excited universal attention. Even the King-, Louis XV. , who had become tired of hearing Beaumarchais talked about, and who was not very well sat- isfied with the turn his affairs had taken, began to think that he might be usefully employed in a very delicate negotiation. The necessities of a monarch, like those of other mortals, know no law. The King had been informed that a certain French adventurer in London had printed and was about to publish a Life of Madame Dubarry, in which the special weaknesses of that lady were to be exhibited in the liveliest manner for the amusement of the scandal-loving public.
