We slept at Meaux in the bishop's house, full of priests who had taken the oath, but otherwise civil enough ; the bislu)p himself served us. They informed us that we must start the next day at five in the morning so as to reach Paris in good season. We started at six, and though it is only ten leagues from Meaux to Paris, we did not reach Bondy, the last post, till midday nor the Tuileries till half-past seven at night. At Bondy the populace showed its desire to massacre our three Gardes-du- Co...rps, and my father did all he could to save them, in which, it must be owned, the deputies eagerly seconded him. The crowd we met along the road was in- numerable, so that we could scarcely advance. The insults with which the people loaded us were our only food through- out the day. In the faubourgs of Paris the crowd was even greater, and among all those persons we saw but one woman fairly well-dressed who showed by her tears the interest she took in ua. On the Place Louis XV. Was M. De la Fayette, apparently at the summit of joy at the success of the blow he had just struck; he was there, surrounded by a people submissive to his orders ; he could have destroyed my father at once, but he preferred to save him longer in order that he might serve his own designs.
