Explore "The Countess of Charny" by Alexandre Dumas on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the night of the ninth of August, the royal family supped as usual; nothing could disturb the king in his meals. But while Princess Elizabeth and Lady Lamballe wept and prayed, the queen prayed without weeping. The king withdrew to go to confession.
At this time the doors opened, and Count Charny walked in, pale, but perfectly calm.
