until confronted by the emperor with
his signed receipt for the amount in

the Duchess of Parma, in behalf Of
her sister, Queen Marie Antoinette
the existence OF which document h.
had evidently forgotten.
This serves TO explain the very cold
manner in which the queen referred
TO the count during her public trial
Tor her life. and which convinced most
people present as we'll as the careful

preserved in the National Library OF
Paris, that she retained no illusions
about the disinterestedness of the
count and that whatever belief she
/ may have entertained in his chivalry
had been obliterated by his greed in
connection with her money and

many who will be less inclined TO de
