THE Count and countess de Montgommery occupied the first floor and the ground floor of a house at Paris, in the Rue Royale. This ground floor consisted of three apartments, each of which opened into an alley, which led from the porte cochere, or great gates, into the court. Gagnard, the count's chaplain, the page, and the valet de chambre, lodged in one of these apartments; the two others served for different uses. On the left of the alley, and opposite these three doors, was the staircase which led to the apartments of the count and countess. These apartments consisted chiefly of an anti-room, and of a bed-room, and from the bedroom they used to pass into a closet, or small apartment, where they kept their money and their jewels.
