That was another scene Ernst August had to witness in his life.

I suspect him at present of a thought that M.de la Bergerie, with his pious commonplaces, is likely to do no good.

Other trait of Ernst August's life; or of the Schloss of Hanover that night,--or where the sorrowing old Mother sat, invincible though weeping, in some neighboring room,--I cannot give.

M.de la Bergerie continues his narrative:-- "Some time after, I again presented myself before the Queen's bed, to see if I could have occasion to speak to her on the matter of her salvation.

But Monseigneur the Duke Ernst August then said to me, That it was not necessary; that the Queen was at peace with her God (_ etait bien avec son Dieu _)."-- Which will mean also that M.de la Bergerie may go home?
However, he still writes:-- "Next day the Prince told me, That observing I was come near the Queen's bed, he had asked her if she wished I should still speak to her; but she had replied, that it was not necessary in any way (_ nullement _), that she already knew all that could be said to her on such an occasion; that she had said it to herself, that she was still saying it, and that she hoped to be well with her God.
"In the end a faint coming upon the Queen, which was what terminated her life, I threw myself on my knees at the other side of her bed, the curtains of which were open; and I called to God with a loud voice, 'That He would rank his angels round this great Princess, to guard her from the insults of Satan; that He would have pity on her soul; that He would wash her with the blood of Jesus Christ her heavenly Spouse; that, having forgiven her all her sins, He would receive her to his glory.' And in that moment she expired." [Erman, p.
