Marie+Julie+d'Orsay+Noblewoman+Carolin

//First // //Dear Diary, It’s me again Marie Julie d’Orsay. Today was one of the beautiful days of this month. I woke up, looked out of the window, the sun was shining and birds were singing in the garden. I totally felt good. After a couple of minutes I got out of my bed and dressed myself. It was breakfast time. I went done, in my drawing room and Susan my housekeeper had already finished everything for me. It was like every day. The panel was covered with everything you could imagine, the most delicious pastries, fresh fruits..... I ate one or two pieces of freshly baked cake, one apple and two bowls with pudding. After I had eaten the last spoon of pudding, I got up and prepared myself for the trip to town. I pulled my shoes on, let Susan get one of my coats and put my beautiful hat on. Now it was time to go, I just had 10 minutes left. I got in the coach and Peter my coachman put the horses in motion. I loved it to drive through the woods and over the hills; it was a felling of freedom. As we arrived in town, I had to quickly go to my appointment in the dress store. I once again had ordered a dress. This time it was a long, with beads decorated and very tight dress. And today they still had to take my dimensions. After two hours where10 people were standing around me, I was so happy to go home. I went down the street, past the poor people on the street trying to sell some bread. //

//I hated to see that pain, but that was the live. We were all parts of on estate. The first estate and the most powerful are the People from the church and the King and his government. After them were we the nobles including me, we as the rich ones. And the last, but where the most of the people are part of is the 3 estate. All the famers, doctors and other people had to work hard and pay all the taxes but now there started to rebel against the king and the rouls. They did want to pay any longer alone the taxes and wanted to be equal to the other. // //And on the way home I had to ask myself if the way I’m acting was so good or if I can help. //

// Write you soon, Marie Julie //

//Second // //Dear Diary, //

//Today in the morning as I woke up Susan came excited in my room and told me one of the worst messages that I heard for a long time. The Bastille was stormed. All the peasants and other people of the country set the Bastille on fire. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. // //But then after a few minutes, I had to remember the way back from my trip in the city as I saw the peoples sitting on the street and were selling bread. His is the unfair Revolution. The matter was the high prices of bread and the 3 estates. I am a noble woman but I can understand them, I wasn’t balanced, the people in the 3 estate had to pay a lot even if they had less money. // //I decided spontaneously to go to a friend of mine, the current King Louis the 14th. When I arrived in the palace, one of his hired told me Louis had a strong flu and they were waiting for a long time of Francois Rousseau . A doctor from the city because their home doctor was beheaded, he had prescribed a wrong drug. I did not choose to go to Louis because the risk was too big to be infected. So I after about 15 minutes I came out of the Palace and straight away Francois Rousseau the doctor came. I spoke to him and complained that he needed to long to come to the palace and should hurry it, and if he did not know whether it is king. But he just said it was his right. These unfair treatments could no longer be support. For him as a normal citizen after all, only be used by the king, if there were no other possibility. He was angry and just told me that it has to change and the storming of the Bastille was a symbol and should be a warning. //

//I decided to visit a very friendly nun in the convert,  Mary du Champagne , she was a good person to talk about the events. The storming of the Bastille and the changing of the rights of mans. The pain in the city and about Louis the 14th our king. // //We had the same opinion and new that there are coming hard times were the normal people, from the 3 estate where fighting for their rights and equality. // // Love Marie //  //Third // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear Diary, // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I now it is a long time ago that I had told you something, but the last couple of weeks affected my life. // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Thousands of people were killed, a few of them, were my friends from the 3 estate. They were headed on the order of the king because they were against the coming revolution and began to rebel. // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I could not understand how a person could do something terrible like that. Killing people just because they have a different opinion? I couldn’t understand that. For me it was just unbelievable. // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Since those terrible happenings I was most of the time at home: I chilled in my bed and thought about what will happen soon, if there are any consequences and how will France look like after the Revolution. The live has to be better. // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Today was a day like that. I just lay in my bad and hoped the day will pass very quickly and no other people had to die. During I was thought about those things. I always got more hate on the king, how could a human only be so cruel as to kill helpless people. Without scruples, everyone who was against him or his doings was beheaded. He made me speechless, the longer I thought about it more worse I got and the sadness was increased in me. He took me, my friends away. I came to the decision that there has to change something but what and how that was something I have to think about for a longer time. // // Always in love Marie Julie // <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> Diary 4

Dear lovely diary, I know it is along time ago since I wrote you. It is now 15 years ago. Times had changed. Everything changed! Revolution ended by Napoleon Bonaparte. He was our last monarch. He changed everything; the live know is much different to the past. There are no more the 3 estates. Every human is equal no matter if the is a farmer or a Nobel. It is much better and easier to live like that. It allowed you so much, to have friends from the 3 estate in the past. You do not have to shame about anything. And the best of all is that there is no unfairness anymore, no more taxes that 3 estates has to pay. Napoleon also created the Napoleonic Code. This was a code that does not allowed any other people to change the world in the way it was in the past. Napoleon made us, all the citizen, to have a normal live. The end of the revolution also affected my life. I have now a new friend **Julie** **Rousseau.** Julie is one of the loveliest women I ever met. As I saw her the first time there was the time of Louise the 14. There was no way for me to act with her, me a noblewomen was not allowed do to anything with people from lower estates but now 15 years later the revolution was luckily finished. And I met her again. We have a great relation to each other and we talk about everything. She is a big piece of my live. There is no week, where we do not see each other. I do not have to shame about her and I hope that it will always be like that. I will now go to bed …. I will write you soon with good news Love Marie
