1
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:13,874
The children heard the lovely sound of a low horn.

2
00:00:13,875 --> 00:00:17,067
"What's that?" asked Mandy.

3
00:00:17,068 --> 00:00:19,133
"It's the hunting horn.

4
00:00:19,134 --> 00:00:23,206
The hunt is about to begin!" Helene yelled.

5
00:00:23,207 --> 00:00:25,756
"Everyone goes hunting with the king.

6
00:00:25,757 --> 00:00:29,512
Everyone but the servants, of course."

7
00:00:29,513 --> 00:00:32,868
A man with a pack of dogs appeared.

8
00:00:32,869 --> 00:00:37,012
The dogs were barking and pulling at their leashes.

9
00:00:37,013 --> 00:00:40,402
"What are they hunting?" asked Vinnie.

10
00:00:40,403 --> 00:00:44,202
"Most likely fox," Helene said.

11
00:00:44,203 --> 00:00:47,203
Another horn rang out.

12
00:00:47,204 --> 00:00:50,470
They heard horses trotting.

13
00:00:50,471 --> 00:00:54,547
"Do they hunt every day?" asked Mandy.

14
00:00:54,548 --> 00:00:57,120
"Of course!" said Helene.

15
00:00:57,121 --> 00:00:59,875
"Hunting is the king's favorite sport.

16
00:00:59,876 --> 00:01:03,242
Yesterday he got a deer."

17
00:01:03,243 --> 00:01:05,886
Mandy burned with anger.

18
00:01:05,887 --> 00:01:10,418
She whispered to Vinnie, "Hunting is not a sport!

19
00:01:10,419 --> 00:01:13,484
It's killing poor animals!"

20
00:01:13,485 --> 00:01:16,734
Helene took Mandy's hand.

21
00:01:16,735 --> 00:01:23,575
"Since the king is out hunting, I'll show you the palace," she said.

22
00:01:23,576 --> 00:01:28,283
The children all ran into the palace.

23
00:01:28,284 --> 00:01:31,400
"Ooh!" said Mandy.

24
00:01:31,401 --> 00:01:35,610
"Wow!" said Vinnie.

25
00:01:35,611 --> 00:01:38,290
"Shh!" said Helene.

26
00:01:38,291 --> 00:01:42,614
"If you want to see it all, you have to be quiet."

27
00:01:42,615 --> 00:01:45,738
Everything in the palace sparkled.

28
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:50,010
Paintings of the king were on the walls and ceilings.

29
00:01:50,011 --> 00:01:55,207
The furniture was covered in gold and velvet.

30
00:01:55,208 --> 00:02:00,574
"There are about 700 rooms in Versailles," Helene explained.

31
00:02:00,575 --> 00:02:04,211
She stopped in front of huge double doors.

32
00:02:04,212 --> 00:02:06,674
Helene looked around.

33
00:02:06,675 --> 00:02:11,301
She wanted to make sure no one was watching.

34
00:02:11,302 --> 00:02:16,724
"And this room is the most beautiful of all!" cried Helene.

35
00:02:16,725 --> 00:02:18,886
"It's my favorite!"

36
00:02:18,887 --> 00:02:23,230
She opened the double doors wide.

37
00:02:23,231 --> 00:02:26,600
Vinnie and Mandy followed her inside.

38
00:02:26,601 --> 00:02:29,003
Their mouths dropped open.

39
00:02:29,004 --> 00:02:34,224
It was a large hall.

40
00:02:34,225 --> 00:02:39,300
There were 17 glass doors that looked out to the gardens.

41
00:02:39,301 --> 00:02:44,861
On the walls were large decorated mirrors.

42
00:02:44,862 --> 00:02:46,961
"This is the Hall of Mirrors.

43
00:02:46,962 --> 00:02:51,754
It has 357 mirrors!" said Helene.

44
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:55,271
"King Louis meets very important people in here.

45
00:02:55,272 --> 00:02:58,949
I make believe this is my dancing room."

46
00:02:58,950 --> 00:03:01,944
Helene twirled across the floor.

47
00:03:01,945 --> 00:03:06,871
She did not see two guards with long spears enter the hall.

48
00:03:06,872 --> 00:03:09,805
"You children!" one shouted.

49
00:03:09,806 --> 00:03:13,211
"In the name of His Royal Highness, stop!"

50
00:03:13,212 --> 00:03:17,021
"Uh-oh!" Helene stopped dancing.

51
00:03:17,022 --> 00:03:18,708
"Follow me!"

52
00:03:18,709 --> 00:03:22,206
Helene led the children down a hallway.

53
00:03:22,207 --> 00:03:27,038
Along the walls, gold statues held up crystal lights.

54
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:29,884
"Stop!" yelled the other guard.

55
00:03:29,885 --> 00:03:32,321
The guards ran after them.

56
00:03:32,322 --> 00:03:35,970
"What happens if they catch us?" asked Vinnie.

57
00:03:35,971 --> 00:03:39,905
"Don't worry," giggled Helene.

58
00:03:39,906 --> 00:03:42,399
"We can get away through the gardens.

59
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,546
But we'll have to hide first!"

60
00:03:46,547 --> 00:03:50,428
Helene turned a corner and went into a room.

61
00:03:50,429 --> 00:03:54,076
Lace and ostrich feathers were everywhere.

62
00:03:54,077 --> 00:03:56,853
A group of women sat sewing.

63
00:03:56,854 --> 00:04:00,737
One woman saw the children.

64
00:04:00,738 --> 00:04:05,410
"Are the guards chasing you again, Helene?" she smiled.

65
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:08,279
Helene blew the woman a kiss.

66
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,943
Then she led the children out another door.

67
00:04:11,944 --> 00:04:15,480
Helene ducked into another room.

68
00:04:15,481 --> 00:04:20,103
"How does she know this place so well?" gasped Mandy.

69
00:04:20,104 --> 00:04:22,493
Vinnie hurried right behind.

70
00:04:22,494 --> 00:04:25,285
He wondered the same thing.

71
00:04:25,286 --> 00:04:30,603
Suddenly, he bumped into a woman, and her head rolled off.

72
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:36,598
"Ahhh!" he screamed.
