One of the family at Mount Vernon came out on the portico, holding in his hand a great key. "You are the son of Lafayette?" asked the gentleman. "Yes, my father is Lafayette." " His heart souo-ht us in our distress as a nation, and the heart of the nation will always love his son." " But he has lost all, in trying to gain the liber- ties of France. Oh, my... poor father ! my poor mother ! " " The General of the Army of Ardennes has not lost all. The times have changed, my boy ; but France will one day become a free nation, like THE KEY TO THE BASTILLE. 1 59 America. Your father was a Knight of Liberty to us, he will prove some day to have been the apostle of Liberty to France." The boy burst into tears. " My father, my father ! What did he not do for France?
