great classic obsessions in the Annals of the Sea. A
marriage can never be beconsonable again of the ill stardhouses,
Bourbon of France, af Fur of Pussia. A mockery. It
was destined to end in the greatest.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Blood bath the world has ever known.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Intrustration and innocence reanten A launched the career wild and reckless,
abandoned gambling, extravagant dissertation. These are the channels into which
the queen escaped until she became known, this scarlet woman
and pers and now over France their hands black and
lowering clouds.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
The stone of the people.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Is about to break a tempest, and they could last
year to the frank realm.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
With a mont fury.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Luis the sixteenth, there is not a king, No more
is your husband. The infantile brain is incapable of guiding
or ruling domains, and thus is unaware of the intrigue
in plots that he is turning, rocking the very core
of the monarchy. The seeds of revolution have been stone,
and your harvest is ready. For reasons. When I tell us,

(09:39):
Louis stands giving out of his window, staring means the
blackness of the not on affecting upon the ominous.

Speaker 4 (09:46):

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (10:33):

Speaker 9 (10:37):
I don't think it would be wise to say, if
your words to the Talis dad to start the retarge
against the mast I you wish you were to talk
for years you were doing, put into side power to
their king. It would instead, and it would.

Speaker 10 (10:51):

queen things. Queen thought I should say a few words,
And I have said a few words.

my men.

started the horrifying prophetic words after me the day and
now the words becoming exactly reality. It is the day
of the vagabond France July fourteenth, seventeen eighty nine, amid

(13:33):
pats and rags and dirt and throat of France that
beats the heart, a heart that must be worn by
a blazing plane, must burn with a white hot passion,
must beat out. It's one word message until it reaches
the heights of heaven. Liberty, Count Leon, but can num

(13:55):
the moronic glorry the sixteen as f sworn, there is
no vility as can courted the aristocracy and now harangue

their mark. The mob mill chaos into chision, and bodies
centering its wild curious on the outer draw bridge is
about steed. They anything to name raisings of Ironheimer restricts,
the chain that bind the Great Bridge, the ant crack
