ONE:Her first care had been to release from the Carmes her fellow-prisoners, Jos��phine de Beauharnais and Mme. d��Aiguillon, who now formed an intimate part of her society and that of Barras. To them also came Mme. de Stael, wife of the Swedish Ambassador, the beautiful Mme. Regnault-de-Saint-Jean-d��Angely, Mme. Cambys, and many others thankful to escape from the shadows of prison and death to the light of liberty and pleasure. The restraints of religion and morality were, of course, non-existent; liaisons and [338] licence were the order of the day, and T��r��zia was not likely to be an exception to the general custom. She had, besides her daughter by Tallien, other children, who, as no other name belonged to them, were called Cabarrus. And her being or calling herself Tallien��s wife was no reason why she should renounce her natural right to love any one else where, when, and as often as she pleased.
TWO:Laure Permon, Duchesse d��Abrant��s, than whom no one was a better judge of these matters, observes��Their property had been confiscated, their estates seized, and their h?tels and chateaux either burnt or sold.
FORE:The Marquis de Continges, a dissipated rou�� of the court of Louis XV., an encyclop?dist and friend of Voltaire, finding in the reign of Louis XVI. that he was getting old, thought he would marry. He [196] was noble, rich, and a good parti; but after making many inquiries he could not hear of any one he especially fancied. One evening he appeared at a great party given by the Princesse de Lamballe, at which every one of importance was present, dressed in black velvet, with lace ruffles, a sword by his side, and in his hand an embroidered hat full of mysterious tickets.
