As the undertaking at Paris depended entirelyon the success of such a battle, the Count thought it fitting that Ishould go along with Meternic to Givet, where I found the army in a verygood condition. Then I returned to Paris, and gave an account of everyparticular to the Marechal de Pitri, who drew up the order for theenterprise. The whole city of Paris seemed so disposed for aninsurrection that we thought ourselves sure of success. The secret waskept even to a miracle. The Count gave the enem...y battle and won it. Younow believe, without doubt, the day was our own. Far from it; for theCount was killed in the very crisis of the victory, and in the midst ofhis own men; but how and by whom no soul could ever tell. You may guess what a condition I was in when I heard this news; M. DeCremail, the wisest of us all, thought of nothing else now but how toconceal the secret, which, though known to only six in all Paris, wasknown to too great a number; but the greatest danger of discovery wasfrom the people of Sedan, who, being out of the kingdom, were not afraidof punishment.
