M. de Fersen assisted the Queen into the vehicle, and she sank into her seat by the side of the King, trembling with fear.
M. de Fersen had stopped a voiture, for the accommodation of the three gardes du corps.
They jumped into it, telling the driver to follow the other vehicle.
M. de Fersen, who knew not Paris much better than the garde du corps, who had followed the Queen, fearing to get lost in the streets, went to Faubourg St. Honoré, along the length of the Tuileries.
Thence, he soon found his way to the barrière of Clichy.
A few paces before the house of Mr. Crawford, the gardes du corps got down, paid and dismissed their vehicle, and took their places behind the other.
The travelling berlin was ready when they arrived.
The change was effected.
M. de Fersen overturned his carriage in a ditch, then mounted on the box of the berlin. One of his men mounted a horse, and conducted them to Daumont.
They took at least an hour to arrive at Bondy.
