eight in the evening
Clery , the Dauphin 's valet at the Tuileries , had been on the watch for an opportunity of returning to his office , after having been left behind on the dreadful 10th of August , when his life had been in the utmost danger . He now heard that the mayor was about to appoint two more servants to wait on the king and the dauphin ; and he so earnestly entreated that he might be one , that he obtained the appointment . No one was more pleased than Louis to see Clery again . It was on the 26th of August , at eight in the evening , that Clery entered once more upon his service . The queen desired him to resume his attendance upon the Dauphin , and to unite with the king 's valet in rendering the family as comfortable as they could . The princesses had now been eight days without the attendance of their women ; and their hair much needed proper combing and arranging . At supper they asked Clery whether he could dress their hair .
