My two sisters-in-law, the wife of comte d'Hargicourt and that of my nephew, were speedily assembled to talk over with me the events of the last twelve hours. I threw myself upon my bed in a state of mental and bodily fatigue, impossible to describe.
Comte Jean would not have ventured such a proposal to his other brother, the comte d'Hargicourt, who had much good sense and great notions of propriety, and who at Versailles was called the honnete homme; a distinction not over flattering to his two brothers. The same evening the whole family arrived, and was presented to me the next day.
It was the Wednesday of the fifth of May that I took my seat in the carriage of the duchesse d'Aiguillon accompanied by my sister-in-law and the vicomtesse Adolphe, who would not forsake me. Bischi remained with madame d'Hargicourt, whose duties detained her with the comtesse d'Artois. Her husband also remained at Versailles, while comte Jean and his son proceeded to Paris.
He was eminently suited for the office now conferred on him; and those who knew him best were the least surprised to find the nomination had fallen on him. I also procured a post in the establishment of the young couple for my sister-in-law, the comtesse d'Hargicourt.
