His first duty was to inspect the state prisons, to hear the complaints, and console the sufferings, of the unhappy wretches who groaned there : his heart responded to the avoca- tion, and he attended to it without delay. One day, the door of my chamber was opened, and the Lieutenant of the King, who preceded him, announced M. De Malesherbes. On hear- ing this respected name, my strength revived, and I felt as if animated by a new existence. He listened to the most minute details of my sufferin...gs with profound attention, ques- tioned me with a tone of kindness I had been long unac- customed to, and appeared penetrated with compassion. How easily do the accents of innocence find a passage to a just and feeling heart ! When I told him I had been imprisoned twenty-six years, his countenance, his gestures, expressed the deepest indignation ; he struck the ground violently with his foot, and repeated several times, "twenty-six years!" When I had finished the recital of my misfortunes and my innocence, he inquired concerning my parents, my fortune, and my prospects; every word he spoke conveyed new life and con- solation to my heart.
