Chapter XX
MIRABEAU'S SUCCESSOR. The royal carriage sadly travelled the Paris Road, watched by the two moody men who had forced it to alter its direction. Between Epernay and Dormans, Charny, from his stature and his high seat, could distinguish a four-in-hand coach approaching from the way of Paris. He guessed that it brought grave news of some important character. Indeed, it was hailed with cheers for the National Assembly, and contained three officials.
