Storming the Bastille

This is the third volume in the Marie Antoinette romances. 'It was a winter night, and the ground around Paris was covered with snow, although the flakes had ceased to fall since some hours.Spite of the cold and the darkness, a young man, wrapped in a mantle so voluminous as to hide a babe in his arms, strode over the white fields out of the town of Villers Cotterets, in the woods, eighteen leagues from the capital, which he had reached by the stage-coach, towards a hamlet called Haramont. His assured step seemed to indicate that he had previously gone this road.'
