The first time the bolt merely creaked, but the second there was a snap, and the lower part of the door burst outward several inches. The bottom bolt had yielded, and now only the top one remained. But to reach this was a difficult matter, as no purchase could be had against it. While considering the situation, I imagined I heard my jailer returning, and my heart jumped into my throat.
The king and the queen returned to Paris as prisoners, and Lafayette was their jailer. The master of France, the many-headed King of the French nation, was the National Assembly.
Well, as he wanted to leave, M. Jacques came to me, and we agreed, that in consideration of a certain sum of money which he has paid me, and of which you have seen just now all that is left, I should make a hole in the wall, and that I should run off altogether, while he was to come back when he had done his business."

The woman who had Rika held her in her arms, but poor little Elinor, on foot, reached a tiny hand toward the passing throng, and fearfully glanced at her ugly jailer as she did so. The train remained on the track. It was evidently going to make up a section. The women wandered here and there, and finally approached a big packing case near the station door. Here they stood, evidently consulting.
I could not but tell him my opinion as to his learning you to take such courses, but we parted friends; but I doubt it will be long before Janet can see him with patience." The jailer, who was present at the interview, here notified that the bailie's time was up. "I shall see you again, Ronald, before they take you south. I would that I could do more to help you besides just coming to see you."
So difficult did they find their task, that the jailer, a man named Richard, who, when alone, ventured to show sympathy for her miseries, sought to encourage her by the assurance that she would be replaced in the Temple. But Marie Antoinette indulged in no such illusion. She never doubted that her death was resolved on.
