"Down with Veto!" was thechief cry; but mingled with it were still more unmanly insults, invokingmore especially death on all the women. But the Guards kept the mob at adistance, though when they reached the hall the Jacobins made an effort todeprive them of that protection. They declared that it was illegal forsoldiers to enter the hall, as indeed it was; yet without them the princesmust at the last moment have been exposed to all the fury of the mob. Atthis critical moment Roederer showed bot...h fidelity and presence of mind. He implored the deputies to suspend the law which forbade the entrance ofthe troops, and, while the Jacobins were reviling him and his proposal, hepretended to suppose that it had been agreed to, and led forward adetachment of soldiers who cleared the way. One grenadier look up thedauphin in his arms and carried him in; and, although the pressure of thecrowd was extreme, at last the whole family were placed within the hall insuch safety as the Assembly was able or disposed to afford them.
