Luttrell yesterday to La Muette to see M. Erard's fine collection of pictures, with which they were very much pleased. Our drive to the Bois de Boulogne was a very agreeable one, and was rendered so by their pleasant conversation. I have presented Mr. Rogers with some acquisitions for his cabinet of antique bijouterie, with which he appears delighted.
No, such an adversary was incapable of deceiving old Ganimard. It was a stroke of luck nothing more. At the Galleries-Lafayette, the man leaped from the omnibus and took the La Muette tramway, following the boulevard Haussmann and the avenue Victor Hugo. Baudru alighted at La Muette station; and, with a nonchalant air, strolled into the Bois de Boulogne.
A Loan from Crosat. Retrenchments. Unpaid Ambassadors. Council of the Regency. Influence of Lord Stair. The Pretender. His Departure from Bar. Colonel Douglas. The Pursuit. Adventure at Nonancourt. Its Upshot. Madame l'Hospital. Ingratitude of the Pretender. Behaviour of the Duchesse de Berry. Her Arrogance Checked by Public Opinion. Walls up the Luxembourg Garden. La Muette.
And those who nag under any circumstances requested more cheerfulness. They found the “Czar and Zimmermann” too dull, the “Muette de Portici” too hackneyed. They insisted on “Madame Angot” and “Orpheus in the Under World.” There was always something wrong.
"On the death of Louis XV. the entire Court removed from Versailles to the palace of La Muette, situate in the Bois de Boulogne, very near Paris. The confluence of Parisians, who came in crowds joyfully to hail the death of the old vitiated Sovereign, and the accession of his adored successors, became quite annoying to the whole Royal Family.
A belief obtains that the Versailles Engineers are laying a mine under the walls of Paris in the direction of the Muette Gate. The disagreement between the Commune and the Central Committee continues. The Versailles troops have made good their communications from Montrouge to Issy, and have established batteries on the glacis before Fort Vanves.
She was annoyed at the few visits she received from M. le Duc and Madame la Duchesse d'Orleans,-her pride, however, suffering more than her tenderness. In despite of all reason, nothing could hinder her from changing her abode. She was transferred from Meudon to the Muette, wrapped up in sheets, and in a large coach, on Sunday, the 14th of May, 1719.
"The ball given at the Pavilion Marsan, in the apartments of the Children of France, was honored by the presence of the King, M. the Dauphin and Madame the Dauphiness. Mgr. the Duke of Orleans and his family arrived at eight o'clock. "Tomorrow there will be a play at the Court Theatre; the actors of the opera will play La Muette de Portici."
It became necessary instantly to send away the young royal family; and the Chateau de la Muette, in the Bois de Boulogne, was selected for their reception. Their arrival at that residence, which was very near Paris, drew so great a concourse of people into its neighbourhood, that even at daybreak the crowd had begun to assemble round the gates.
Roland was waiting for them and listened to what had taken place. "What did I tell you?" he asked. They requested him to name the time and place. He selected seven o'clock in the evening in the Allee de la Muette. No one had spoken of the pistols. The young men proposed to get them at an armorer's. "No," said Roland, "Sir John has an excellent pair of duelling pistols which I have already used.
