_June 19th._--This was the last day I was to stay in Paris, for which
I was very sorry, as I liked being in Paris a great deal better than
in Versailles. There are some very amusing things in Paris, though I
do not think it is to be compared to London. We expected Miss Wragge
and brothers and sisters to see the museum, which we had been long
promised. Miss Wragge, Barbara, the two boys, and Caroline came just
after we had finished breakfast; but Catherine and Euphemia were so ill
they could not come. (Catherine was not well when we came to Paris, but
we hoped by this time she would have been better.) After they had come
we bought some gilt gigs, baskets, etc., in a _very_ cheap, _civil_
shop in the Rue de la Paix, where there were a great many little
ornaments. We also bought some silk shoes at a good shop near. After we
came in, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher called. We did not go to the museum, but
went instead to the Louvre, where we had a longer view of the pictures
than before; I did not like them better this time than when I first
saw them. There were several Quakers in the Louvre; we saw some in
the streets of Paris at different times. As soon as we came back from
the Louvre we returned to Versailles. On our way we saw the Duchesse
d'Angoulême in an open carriage. When we reached the Avenue de Sceaux
we found Catherine _very_ ill, and Euphemia not at all well.
