As a rumor was spreading to the effect that a change for the better was to be made in the condition of the chil- dren of Louis XVI., the Committee of General Security had just declared in presence of the Con- vention that it had issued no instructions that could be so construed. "The Committee," said they, "have absolutely no thought of ameliorating the captivity of Capet's children. The Committee and the Convention know how the heads of kings are made to fall ; but they do not know how their c...hil- dren are to be brought up." In spite of the injunctions of Barras, Laurent, the new guardian of Louis XVII., either through negligence or fear of compromising himself, allowed a month and four days to elapse before cleaning the wretched child's room. September 1, 1794, with THE DUCHESS OF ANGOULEME the assistance of several persons, and especially of Gagnie", the chief cook, he unclosed the iron door and broke the round wicket. The little prisoner trembled like a leaf on hearing the sound of the hammers and the grinding of the bolts.
