But as yet the deluge had not arrived and the great and noble still danced upon the brink of a volcano. Fersen grew more and more infatuated, nor could he quite conceal his feelings. The queen, in her turn, was neither frightened nor indignant. His passion, so profound and yet so respectful, deeply moved her. Then came a time when the truth was made clear to both of them.
Pisani, the Venetian Ambassador, and Count Fersen, helped her on the coachbox, where she rode disguised. "For my own part, I cannot but consider this sudden desertion of France by those nearest the throne as ill-judged. Had all the Royal Family, remained, is it likely that the King and Queen would have been watched with such despotic vigilance?
Therefore he decided to join the French troops who were going to America to fight under Lafayette. A brilliant but dissolute duchess taunted him when the news became known. "How is this?" said she. "Do you forsake your conquest?" But, "lying like a gentleman," Fersen answered, quietly: "Had I made a conquest I should not forsake it. I go away free, and, unfortunately, without leaving any regret."
"And think what it must have been to a queen, married to a tiresome, unattractive Bourbon and Fersen was young and gallant and thoughtful for her slightest good, and, from what one hears and has read, he must have understood her, and been her friend as well and sometimes she must have forgotten about being a queen for a few moments in his arms "

FERSEN. Oh, she is fine, now, since we keep her outside in the baby carriage, like you tell us. The fact is, Dr. Jonathan, the boys have struck, voted last night to walk out at noon today. FERSEN. We thought we tell you now. You been such a good friend to us and our families. DR. JONATHAN. But isn't this rather sudden, with Mr. Pindar in Washington?
It was universally believed that the King would be detained in Paris. The high road from Versailles to Paris was crowded with all ranks of people, as if to catch a last look of their Sovereign. "The Count Fersen set off instantly, pursuant to the Queen's desire. He saw all that passed, and on his return related to me the history of that horrid day.
The Count and Countess of Provence both started at the same time as the rest, and reached Belgium in safety. Fersen, directing matters with skill and forethought, made one mistake. Two attendants on the royal children were taken, in a hired carriage, to Claye, the second stage on the eastern road; and it was their driver who made known, on his return, which way the fugitives had taken.
These proclamations reached Paris on July 28, and simultaneously the notorious Fersen wrote the Queen of France, "You have the manifesto, and you should be content."
Human nature ain't so rotten, when you give it a chance. GEORGE. Well, then, are you willing to try it out, on the level? RENCH. I cal'late we'll stick, Captain. HILLMAN. We sure will. FERSEN. We'll be pioneers! GEORGE. That's good American, Fersen, not to be afraid of an ideal. Shake! We'll sit down with it in a day or two. The members of the committee file out of the room, lower right.
