On the very day after the commutation of the sentence had been
announced, Sunday, the 3rd of July, the Queen was again fired at as
she sat by the side of her uncle, King Leopold, on her way to the
Chapel Royal, St. James's. The pistol missed fire, and the man who
presented it, a hunchback, was seized by a boy of sixteen called
Dasset. So ridiculous did the group seem, that the very policemen
pushed away both captor and captive as actors in a bad practical
joke. Then the boy Dasset, who retained the pistol, was in danger
of being taken up as the real culprit, trying to throw the blame
upon another.
