the king, after the death of mme. de pompadour, of whom he had become tired, lived for some years without a reigning favourite, in spite of the attempts of various ladies of the court to attain to that post. his life was passed in hunting, in the festivities of the court, and in a constant succession of intrigues and liaisons for which the notorious parc aux cerfs was a sort of preserve. his next and last recognised and powerful mistress was mme. du barry.����though he painted this portrait in haste, with tears in his eyes, it was one of the best ever done by isabey. [35]��mme. le brun returned home, but dared not stay there, so she accepted the invitation of her brother��s father-in-law, m. de rivi��re, in whose house she thought she would be safe, as he was a foreign minister. she stayed there a fortnight, treated as if she were a daughter of the house, but she had resolved to get out of france before it was too late.��[pg 32]����the peace of amiens had just been signed, society was beginning to be reorganised. the princess dolgorouki who, to lisette��s great joy, [149] was in paris, gave a magnificent ball, at which, lisette remarked, young people of twenty saw for the first time in their lives liveries in the salons and ante-rooms of the ambassadors, and foreigners of distinction richly dressed, wearing orders and decorations. with several of the new beauties she was enchanted, especially mme. r��camier and mme. tallien. she renewed her acquaintance with mme. campan, and went down to dine at her famous school at saint germain, where the daughters of all the most distinguished families were now being educated. madame murat, sister of napoleon, was present at dinner, and the first consul himself came to the evening theatricals, when ��esther�� was acted by the pupils, mlle. auguier, niece of mme. campan, afterwards wife of marshal ney, taking the chief part.��the last time mme. le brun saw the queen was at the last ball given at versailles, which took place in the theatre, and at which she looked on from one of the boxes. she observed with indignation the rudeness of some of the young radical nobles; they refused to dance when requested to do so by the queen, whose agitation and uneasiness were only too apparent. the demeanour of the populace was becoming every day more ferocious and alarming; the drives and streets were scarcely safe for any but the lower classes. at a concert given by mme. le brun, most of the guests came in with looks of consternation. they had been driving earlier in the day to longchamps, and as they passed the barri��re de l����toile, a furious mob had surrounded and insulted everybody who passed in carriages. villainous looking faces pressed close to them, horrible figures climbed on to the steps of the carriages, crying out, with infamous threats and brutal language, that next year they should be in the carriages and the owners behind them.��
