ten in
the morning
The queen had burned a great many papers , and had her diamonds packed in a little box , which she meant to take in her own carriage : she had also written a paper of directions to her confidential servants about following her . As she saw her jewels restored to their places , and tore the paper of directions , with tearful eyes , she said she feared that this decision would prove a misfortune to them all . The king was next to go to Paris . He set out from Versailles at ten in the morning after the departure of the Polignacs . He was well attended , and appeared , as usual , very composed . The queen kept her feelings to herself till he was gone ; but she had terrible fears that he would be detained as a prisoner in his own capital . She shut herself up with her children in her own apartment .
