Gentlemen, the authorities cannot think of separating me from my son. He is still so young and weak, he needs my care." "The committee has come to this determination," answered the official, "the Convention has confirmed it, and we shall carry it into execution directly." "I cannot allow it," cried Marie Antoinette in desperation. "In the name of Heaven, I conjure you not to be so cruel!"
