On October 5 several thousand women and a number of armed men marched out to Versailles to ask bread of the king, in whom they had great confidence personally, however sus- picious they might be of his friends and advisers. Lafayette marched after the crowd with the national guard, but did not prevent some of the people from inyading the king's palace the next morning and nearly murdering the queen, who had be- come very unpopular. She was believed to be still an Austrian at heart and to be in ...league with the counter-revolutionary party. The people declared that the king must accompany them to Paris, and he was obliged to consent. Far from being disloyal, they assumed that the presence of the royal family would insure plenty and prosperity. So they gayly escorted the " baker and the baker's wife and the baker's boy," as they jocularly termed The French Revolution 241 the king and queen and the little dauphin, to the Palace of the Tuileries, where the king took up his residence, practi- cally a prisoner, as it proved.
