 orders to let no one enter. They found the halls practically de- 

 serted, there being only three or four guards and only about thirty 

 guns, abandoned in the rack. The crowd was already pounding 

 upon the doors and trying to force entrance. -^^ Meantime the 

 queen was on the verge of distraction for the safety of the king 

 and the prince royal. She had with her her two children, the

 other members of the court.^^" When the crowd began to attack 

 the door she insisted upon going to the king, saying she wished

 pected the motives of these officers.
