All her world--massacred.
As a girl, she was collected, majestic; or else she could not have survived those years in the Temple, alone--the last of her family.

What must her thoughts have been, at night in her prison?
As a woman, she is cold, sad, unemotional.

No one ever lived through such troubles with so little display of feeling.

The Restoration, the Hundred Days, the second Restoration, Louis XVIII., and his flight to England; Charles X.and his abdication; her own husband, the Duc d'Angouleme--the Dauphin for many years, the King for half an hour--these are some of her experiences.

She has lived for forty years in exile in Mittau, Memel, Warsaw, Konigsberg, Prague, England; and now she is at Frohsdorf, awaiting the end.
