to a tyranny which left us neither calm nor contentment。 At one time a
spy was placed amongst our servants； at another some of our relations
would be exiled far from their homes； accused of exercising a charity

Again； a hunting…party would be represented as a meeting of Vendéans。
Occasionally； we were blamed for going into Poitou because our
influence was regarded as too dangerous； again； we were reproached for
not living there and not exercising our influence in behalf of the
conscription。〃 … Her brother…in…law； Auguste de la Rochejaquelein；
invited to take service in the army comes to Paris to present his

and even farther if circumstances demand it。〃

that the number of foundlings increased to this extraordinary extent
