"On this day of two January, King Louis XVI, appointed in a time of citizen revolution Capet, was guillotined ..."
Alice was no longer listening to history.
It was always the same anyway. The king and the queen die, the people revolt, the nobles go into exile. thought the student.
Turning the pages and pages of her history book, she could not stop wondering if something, someone could have changed the course of this year 1789! No, it was necessary to go back long before the beginning of the reign of the new monarch to understand.
Running home after the ringing of classes, the young teenager ran to the attic of her grandparents' apartment to open a box that contained according to her grandmother, a newspaper. When she opened it, she felt an old smell that made her just dream. Alice began to read the tight italics that covered the pages. What his grandmother did not know is that this old newspaper belonged to Marie-Antoinette herself! These memories had disappeared during the Revolution, but they did not relate major events of the end of the Reign of this Queen. No, they contained memories, frivolous memories, full of fear, but also of joy. Candor of the beginning of the reign. Alice closed her eyes and let herself be taken into the memories of Marie-Antoinette.
