French Queen Marie-Antoinette
- Оh! What a beautiful lady she is! – Stella rapturously breathed out. – She
always is so beautiful!
– Why? Do you see her often? – I asked with an eager interest.

– Oh, yes! I look at her very often. She is like spring! Don’t you think so?
– Do you know her? Do you know who she is?

– Of course I do! She is a very unhappy queen. – The little girl grew slightly sad.
– Why unhappy? To me, she looks very happy. – I was surprised.
– It’s now... Later she will die... She will die a terrible death. They will cut off
her head... But I don’t like to look at that. – Stella whispered sadly.

Meantime the beautiful lady came up to young Axel and, on seeing him, stiffened
unexpectedly for a fraction of an instant and then smiled a very pretty smile,
charmingly turning red. I had the weird impression that the world around these two
people stood still for an instant, as if everything and everybody ceased to exist for a
split second, except for them... But then the lady continued to move and the magic
moment disintegrated into thousands of brief instants that interlaced into a strong
shining thread and connected these people never to release them...
