In chapter 12 Armand hears that his sister Eugenie travelled to Tuileries. However he refuses to do anything about it besides worry. When the royal family returns to the palace of Tuileries, the Queen slips Armand a not that reads "save us". He takes this note back to his home who he shares with his friend Julien. When Armand tries to burn the note Julien catches him, suspecting he is up to no good he starts to ask Armand questions. They talk about the revolution and how it is nearly impossible to save the royal family. Suddenly Julien brings up Eugenie and says, "'It is high time you took her about instead of hiding her away. If you keep her amused, she will be less likely to get into scrapes'" (Elliot, 115). I think this is foreshadowing that Eugenie will get into more trouble and eventually get captured by an opposition to the revolution. From this expert I can tell that Eugenie does not think before she acts. Also she is selfish because she is not putting the risk of her family into consideration. A characterization method is being used in this passage and it is, what others think about the character. Based on this I can tell people think Eugenie is a trouble maker but childish because she is not thinking how her actions will affect others.
