about noon
This daily renewed pain and humiliation -- this being watched every minute -- was the heaviest burden that the prisoners of the Temple had to bear , and the proud heart of Marie Antoinette rose in exasperation every day against these restraints . She endeavored to be patient and to choke the grief that rose within her , and yet she must sometimes give expression to it in tears and threatening words , which now fell like cold thunderbolts from the lips of the queen , and no longer kindled any thing , no longer dashed any thing in pieces . Thus August passed and September began , sad , gloomy , and hopeless . On the morning of the 3d of September , Manuel came to the royal prisoners , to tell them that Paris was in great excitement , and that they were not to go into the garden that day as usual about noon , but were to remain in their rooms . `` How is it with my friend , Princess Lamballe ? '' asked Marie Antoinette . Manuel was perplexed ; he even blushed and cast down his eyes , as he answered that that morning the princess had been taken to the prison La Force .
