Summary: This article fascinated me because it said that there were actually 2 mobs and not just 1. The first mob invaded the Tuileries—their palace in Paris, and went straight to Marie's closet, to "festoon"themselves in her rich garments. They riped whatever they didn't take or like into shreds. The second mob went to Versailles earlier and rushed into her dressing room. They smashed all the mirrors but left the priceless furniture and paintings untouched.
