But even the screen was full of holes, and as one of the gaolers pleasantly remarked, ' She and the blue (the gendarme) could see each other without any trouble. ' In spite of all these precautions and the strict seclusion in which she was kept, the Queen still managed to receive visitors. These were tolerated firstly because it was thought that, being inspired by mere curiosity, their presence was rather an additional torture to the prisoner than a distraction, and secondly, because it was tho...ught only right that it should be known how a victorious people treated its former sovereign — the Austrian, the wife of the dead tyrant.

Many citizens and their wives came to look at the daughter of Maria-Theresa in her prison, and there were few who did not leave touched by the sight of such terrible misfortune, supported by so much courage and dignity. The scoffers were rare.
