Chapter XXIV
THE ARMY OF WOMEN. The Queen was reposing after the day of felicitation. She had her janissaries around her, her cohort of young bravoes, and having reckoned up her foes, she was wishful for the onslaught. Had she not the defeat of the Fourteenth of July, the Loss of the Bastile, to avenge? She treated Andrea with the former friendship for a time deadened in her bosom.
