I went before the Prince with a lantern. Feeling the cold air which came up the staircase he pressed my arm and said, 'Are they going to put me into a dungeon?" The rest is known. I can yet see Harrel shuddering while thinking of this action of the Prince's. Much has been said about a lantern which it is pretended was attached to one of the Due d'Enghien's button-holes.

I went yesterday to see the house of Peers in the Luxembourg.
