On June 20th, the delegates had just arrived at Versailles Palace when they saw soldiers blocking the assembly hall.
Mirabeau was yelling at the officers blocking the assembly hall like a rooster, "We are the representatives of the National Assembly! We need to go in for the meeting!"
Anning was thrilled to see this scene: It's coming, the Tennis Court Oath is coming!
But outwardly, he feigned a puzzled expression, grabbing a delegate who had arrived earlier and asking, "What's going on?"
The man Anning grabbed did not know him, but he recognized Anning and responded respectfully, "Mr. Frost, as you can see, the soldiers have blocked the hall and won't let us continue the meeting!"
Anning simply uttered "Oh."
Then the man added, "By the way, Mr. Frost, you're an officer, aren't you? Could you order the soldiers to let us through?"
