two o'clock
The Princess Elizabeth saw and read this . The woman no doubt thought this good news ; and perhaps they , too , were pleased that their friends and the foreign army were fairly in France , and had taken a town on the road to Paris : but we shall see how it turned out to be anything but good news . -- After a few weeks they walked no more in the garden , and had only such air and exercise as they could obtain upon the leads of the Temple . From their walk they came in to dinner at two o'clock , where Clery was again ready to wait , when he became the only remaining servant . This was the hour when Santerre the brewer , now commanding the National Guard of Paris , came daily , with two other officers , to examine all the apartments inhabited by the family . The king sometimes spoke to him , -- the queen never . After dinner , the king and queen played piquet or backgammon ; not because they could enjoy at present any amusement of the kind , but because they found means , while bending their heads together over the board , to say a few words unheard by the guard .
