It was memorable as the last loyal cry of the household of Versailles. "The hour has arrived to change guard," Mayor d'Aguesseau went on. "Will you, Monsieur de Lincy, take command in the Hall of the Queen?" D'Aguesseau passed on to inspect the precautions at other points of the Palace. No sooner had he left than the men disposed themselves with serious faces for active work.
"To the Honourable Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the District of Montreal: "The petition of François Xavier LeCour de Lincy, Esquire, residing at St.
"Yes, sir, preserved for generations in a distant colony by a branch that does you honour. Permit me, sir, to introduce you to your cousin, Monsieur LeCour de Lincy, of Canada, officer of the Bodyguard, and who longs to make the acquaintance of the head of his family." De Lincy bowed ceremoniously, and, glancing again at the ring, examined it with avidity.
"Wherefore may it please your Honours to grant an order upon Maître d'Aguilhe, Notary, of St. Elphège, to add to the minute of his contract of marriage the name and title of 'de Lincy, Esquire'; and you will do justice." "Sign, sir, please." François Xavier attached his signature. "It will do," Rottot sighed; "but I should have preferred the precedent."
As he did so, the enthusiasm of his companions got the better of their discipline, and they broke into a loud, prolonged cry of "Vive de Lincy!"

"The hour is nothing," de Lincy replied; "I have always received visitors in bed." "But not always relatives." A lofty look passed over the other's face. "I am the only de Lincy." "Will Monsieur lend me his seal?" said Maître Gilles to Lecour. Then, handing it to the de Lincy, he exclaimed, "Here is a discovery of mine!" "What, are these my arms?" cried the old man.
I make you this reparation as being due to your character, and I am sincerely mortified about the misunderstanding which has caused you so much trouble. "And I have the honour to be, sir, "Yours, etc. "To M. LeCour de Lincy, officer of the Bodyguard of the company of Noailles." The old Councillor, one of the most respected men in the colony, grew red with shame.
At length, leaving the room, he dragged himself up the stair leading to his own chamber, a cramped place in the flat above, bearing small resemblance to his luxurious apartments of former days; yet around it were hung the de Lincy family portraits; his sword of the Bodyguard lay on the mantel; and in the space behind the door were the old Chevalier's iron-bound muniment-chest and his own little portmanteau gilded with his arms.
