tances, of not eating and drinking as usual.

The departure from the Tuileries had been so sudden that the family had
at first only the clothes that they wore. Louis would have wanted for
clean linen, if the lady of the English ambassador had not kindly
thought of the poor boy, and sent him some clothes.

On the 13th, the family were removed to the prison of the Temple; and
Madame Campan, and almost all the servants of the royal household, lost
sight of their master and mistress for ever. It was seven in the
evening when the removal to the Temple took place; and then there was so
much disputing about where the family should be accommodated, whether in
the tower of the building or another part of it, that poor Louis, though
overcome with sleep, had to sit up while his father and mother supped.
At eleven o'clock Madame de Tourzel took him to the Tower, to find some
place where he might go to rest. When the others lay down, at one in
the morning, there was no preparation made for their comfort. The
Princess Elizabeth, with her waiting-woman, slept in the kitchen.
Louis, with his governess and lady-attendant, slept in the
billiard-room. It was all confusion and discomfort. The next morning,
Louis was taken to breakfast with his mother; and then all went together
to see the best rooms in the Tower, and arrange how they were to be
occupied.

It soon became unnecessary to plan for so many people; for an order
arrived for the royal attendants to be removed, to make room for a new
set appointed by the Common Council. The king and queen refused to be
waited upon by strangers, who were, no doubt, to act as spies: but their
own people were removed notwithstanding. On the night of the 19th, the
king's valets were carried off; and then the Princess de Lamballe, and
Madame de Tourzel and her daughter, and even the waiting-women. Louis
was taken up, and carried to his mother's apartment, that he might not
be left quite alone. He probably slept after thus losing his governess
a second time: but his mother and aunt did not. They were too anxious
to think of sleeping: too anxious to know what to believe, and whether,
as they had been assured, they should see their companions again in the
morning. In the morning, instead of the ladies, came the news that they
were all removed to another prison. At nine o'clock, one of the king's
valets reappeared. He alone had been pronounced innocent of any
offence, and permitted to return
