Standing erect, with flaming looks of anger, with cheeks like purple, she confronted them there--the true heir of the Odesars, the courageous daughter of Maria Theresa--and had already opened her lips to speak and overwhelm the traitor with her wrath, when another voice was heard giving answer to Marat.

Excerpt from Marie Antoinette and Her Son: An Historical NovelNo, I certainly do not believe that, answered the other, thoughtfully. I suppose that it is, perhaps, no sin before God not to love the queen, although it may be before man, and that it is not the first time that it has been atoned for by long and dreary imprisonment. But I do love freedom, and therefore I shall take care not to tell a stranger what I think.You love freedom! Exclaimed the stranger. Then give me your hand, and accept my thanks for the word, my brother.Your brother!
