The Life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France

CHAPTER VII
4/16

When we went to walk in the Tuileries, there was so vast a crowd that we were three-quarters of an hour without being able to move either forward or backward.

The dauphin and I gave repeated orders to the Guards not to beat any one, which had a very good effect.

Such excellent order was kept the whole day that, in spite of the enormous crowd which followed us everywhere, not a person was hurt.

When we returned from our walk we went up to an open terrace, and staid there half an hour.

I can not describe to you, my dear mamma, the transports of joy and affection which every one exhibited toward us.
Before we withdrew we kissed our hands to the people, which gave them great pleasure.
