They were expecting together theintelligence of the death of Louis XV. A dreadful noise, absolutely likethunder, was heard in the outer apartment; it was the crowd of courtierswho were deserting the dead sovereign's antechamber, to come and do homageto the new power of Louis XVI. This extraordinary tumult informed MarieAntoi...nette and her husband that they were called to the throne; and, by aspontaneous movement, which deeply affected those around them, they threwthemselves on their knees; both, pouring forth a flood of tears, exclaimed: "O God! guide us, protect us; we are too young to reign. " The Comtesse de Noailles entered, and was the first to salute MarieAntoinette as Queen of France. She requested their Majesties tocondescend to quit the inner apartments for the grand salon, to receivethe Princes and all the great officers, who were desirous to do homage totheir new sovereigns.
