The moment the Comtesse d'Artois was informed a prince was born, she put her hand to her forehead and ex- claimed with energy, " My God, how happy I am!" The Queen felt very differently at this involuntary and natural exclamation. Nevertheless, her behaviour was perfect. She bestowed all possible marks of tenderness upon the young mother, and would not leave her until she was again put into bed; she afterwards passed along the staircase, and through the hall of the guards, with a calm demeanour..., in the midst of an immense crowd. The poissardes, who had assumed a right of speaking to sovereigns in their own vulgar language, followed her to the very doors of her apartments, calling out to her with gross ex- pressions, that she ought to produce heirs. The Queen reached her inner room, hurried and agitated ; she shut herself up to weep with me alone, not from jealousy of her sister-in-law's happiness, — of that she was incapable, — but from sorrow at her own situation.
