Versailles, end of August 1789
Hmmm, it was a bad summer for my king. He was only trying to serve his country the best he could. Trying to get money for our beautiful nation. But unfortunately god did not favour his intentions. The First and Second Estate tried to block his plans, then the third Estate went completely mad and declared itself to be a National Assembly. What a sinful notion. But it seemd that the pressure of all sides tired out my king. He look very exhausted and he didn't eat much anymore. Not even the hunt could disperse his sorrowful thoughts. I can not understand how those criminals of the so called National Assembly could do this. They are destroying my most loved king and with him our beautiful nation. "O tempores, o mores!" I heard one of the kings advisers say. This evening I saw him crying for the first time. Though from rage or sorrow I could not tell.
And now the new laws of August 4 and this strange Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen: Do they really change the lives of the French?
