4-11 Feb 1729:32 (74)
Paris, Nov. 13. N.S. On the 4th instant in the afternoon,
the King got up in his night gown; the 5th his Majesty
walked a long time about his chamber; the 6th he was
dress'd, and did eat meat for the first time since his
illness; and in the evening there was playing at lansquenet
again in the closet of his Majesty as usual; the 7th the
Queen went to the Parish-Church and heard Te Deum, which was
sung by order of the Gentlemen of the Royal Chappel on
account of the recovery of the King. The great portico of
the church was illuminated. At the arrival of her Majesty,
she was saluted with a discharge of fire-boxes, and the
sound of the trumpets, and other musick; the same was
repeated at her going out of the church. When her Majesty
return'd to the Castle, all the streets were illuminated,
and there were bonfires before every house.
The Mathurians of the Royal Chappel did sing Te Deum,
also on the same occasion.
