The court-yards and stables were blocked with their carriages and every minute brought fresh nrrivals. The Get] de Boeui' was filled with odicere. nobles. clerics, officials, who overflow- ed into the Gnlerie dee Glacee, in the noble window: of which chattel-ed groups of eager questioner-s.

About midnight the watchers could relate tha't urgent cour- iers _had been «snatched. on what errands no one could precisely ear. but it was certain that Monsieur le Dau- phin. absent on a hunting expedition. had been summoned to return at once, that mesdames the princesses were being fetched from their convent, that a council of ministers would be held as soon as the Dauphin arrived. that the Archbishop of Paris and the saint- ly Bishop of Bordeaux. then in the capital. had been invited by the King’s confessor to come to Versailles. To- wards dawn the doctors reported that His Majesty had been twice bled, that he had rallied for an- hour and then slowly slipped back into virtual uncon- sciousness. Unlessâ€"unless. the whis- pers ran. a change for the better came soon. France would have a new kins. Ana Madame de Pompadour‘.’ Her name was on every one's lips. A new king! Would it be the Bastiie or Vin- cennes for the grisette then? Fierce joy throhbed in the Queen's apart- ments when the rumor was confirmed that Madame de Pompadour, on hear- ing of her royal lover's illness. had at once hurried to his room. but that the door had been shut in her face. by whose orders no one knew, nor wheth- er it was with the King's consent or not. What was certain was that the King’s confessor had refused to pre- pare his Sovereign for absolution so long as he remained in mortal sin. and that the Archbishop of Paris and the Bishop of Bordeaux would without doubt presently support the confessor. The dramatic scene at Met: was in fact repeating itself at Versailles. The King must be reconciled to his Queen and wife, must cafes his sin. and misc to dismiss the partner in his guilt trom his Court and his presence before he could receive the most sol- emn ministration o! the Church.

Had he? Ah, had he? And as he stared out to- wards the Fountain of Neptune the gar- dens melted into a dark and secret staircase. and once sgsin he heard the beating of the heart of the Pompadonr. The vision tilled him with a great pity. She was no worse than he had been.

But they confess- ed and were absolved. Conreui’on and abeolution! The mummery ot priests. She at least had sinned from ambition. because the flesh and the spirit would not permit her to rennin Antoinette de Poisson. But she was a bournoise and they were noble. For all that, could those noble women or these men ever understandâ€"would the world ever un- derstand before it judged the heart of such a woman as the Pompsdour? To him, perhaps. alone some of the in- scrutshle riddles of the spirit had becn revealed because his heart. too, best as hers did, and assuredly to that hated and feared woman today the bit- - tot-nan of death would be sweet and welcome compared with the bitterness â€"the tragic bitternessâ€"or failure.
