o'clock
they ought not to think that I would leave this place while my dear children are compelled to remain here . What is to be done with the children , Elizabeth ? '' `` We shall soon learn that , sister ; allow me to read on . ` At seven o'clock , as soon as the guard is changed , a man disguised as a lamplighter , with his tin filler in his hand , will appear at the gate of the Temple , knock loudly and demand of the guard that his children , who had this day been taking care of the lantern , should be allowed to come out . On this , Toulan will bring the dauphin and Madame Royale in their changed costume , and while delivering them over to the supposed lamplighter he will scold him soundly for not taking care of the lanterns himself , but giving it to the children . This is the plan whose execution is possible and probable , if every thing is strictly followed . Before the affair is discovered , there will be at least seven hours ' advantage and the royal family will be able , with the passes already secured by M. Jarjayes , to be a long way off before their flight will be discovered by Tison .
