"Did not you yourself assign the parts, and appoint me to be the miller, the Count de Provence to be mayor, and the whimsical Artois to be schoolmaster de par la reine, as it runs here in Trianon, and do you wonder now that we, as it becomes the obedient, follow our queen's commands, and undertake the charge which she intrusts to us?"
One room was splendidly fitted up for the reception of Her Majesty Queen Victoria; who, it appeared, had promised a visit to the French Court; but the French Monarch ran away from his throne before the time arrived. The Grand Trianon is not larger than many noblemen's seats that may be seen in a day's ride through any part of the British empire.
Ah, what bright, joyous laughter would have sprung from the lips of the queen in the days of her happiness, if she had wanted to hide her beauty in such attire for some pleasant masquerade at Trianon!

Marie Antoinette listened to her with lively interest, and at parting extended to her in a friendly manner her beautiful hand.

She looked at him curiously.
A fete of a novel description was given at Petit Trianon. The art with which the English garden was not illuminated, but lighted, produced a charming effect. Earthen lamps, concealed by boards painted green, threw light upon the beds of shrubs and flowers, and brought out their varied tints.

Decide according to your own judgment; do not inconvenience yourself on my account." "Your majesty knows that I live in your presence," sighed the marquise, "but " "But you dare not leave your room. Well I am sorry; you would have enjoyed the drive." "The drive to Trianon," replied the marquise, "where, as an architect, Louvois will he the theme of your majesty's encomiums."
As he entered upon the body of his letter, his eyes still recurred to its opening line: 'Dear Madame de Pastourelles. For many years he had never addressed her except as 'My dear friend. Well, that was all gone and over. The memory of her past goodness, of those walks through the Trianon woods, was constantly with him. But he had used her recklessly and selfishly, and she had done with him.
