I doubt if there were not a dozen gangs, such as described by Madame Deluc, in and about the vicinity of the Barrière du Roule at or about the period of this tragedy.
To see this Palace, apply for admission to M. l'Intendant de la Liste civile. Facing the Elysée Bourbon, is the Hôtel Beauveau, in the Place Beauveau, occupied by the Neapolitan Ambassador. Still proceeding westward we come to the church St. Philippe du Roule, which was completed in 1784.
"On finding myself alone constantly alone in obscurity and silence I began to have fits of furious rage; powerless, for the first time I lost my senses, my head wandered. Yes, although awake, I have dreamed the dream you know: the dream of the old man in the Rue de Roule the woman drowned the drover all murdered! and you, soaring above all these phantoms! I tell you, it is frightful.
Some fairly large woods separated it from the highroad which runs from Gaillon to Saint-Cyr-de-Vaudreuil, while the barges usually touched at the hamlet of Roule, where hacks were hired to take passengers and goods to the ferry of Muids, thereby saving them the long détour made by the Seine. Tournebut was thus isolated between these two much-travelled roads.
A pretty shop-girl on the Faubourg du Roule, whose beautiful eyes, as he, himself, expressed it, had pierced his heart from end to end, consented, though she was much his junior, to a union of their destinies. In 1789 the newly married couple purchased the stock of a wine-shop, over the door of which, after the 10th of August, they prudently hung the sign of the "Bonnet Rouge."
I found the house even better than its reputation, and by far superior to the warren. We took a coach, and Patu said to the driver, "To Chaillot." "I understand, your honour." After a drive of half an hour, we stopped before a gate on which could be read, "Hotel du Roule." The gate was closed. A porter, sporting long mustachioes, came out through a side-door and gravely examined us.
I am the head of the concern, which has a capital of a million; part of which I have borrowed on my own securities. When I find a good thing, Pere Leger and I examine it; my partners have each a quarter and I a half in the profits; but I do nearly all the work, and for that reason I shall be constantly on the road. My wife lives here, in the faubourg du Roule, very plainly.
Creeton, the great Scotchman, and chaplain in ordinary to the King, preach before the King, and Duke and Duchesse, upon the words of Micah: "Roule yourselves in dust." He made a most learned sermon upon the words; but in his application, the most comical man that ever I heard in my life.
"I promised Percy to go to the Rue de Charonne in the late afternoon," she said. "I have some hours to spare, and mean to employ them in trying to find speech with Mademoiselle Lange." "Blakeney has told you where she lives?" "Yes. In the Square du Roule. I know it well. I can be there in half an hour."
Madame Deluc testified that she keeps a roadside inn not far from the bank of the river, opposite the Barrière du Roule. The neighborhood is secluded particularly so. It is the usual Sunday resort of blackguards from the city, who cross the river in boats.
