Halaman 263 - SIR, I received yours, and am sensible of the address and capacity with which you have hitherto transacted the great affair under your management. You will observe that our wants here are not to be concealed; and that it is vanity to use artifices with the knowing men with whom you are to deal. Let me beg you therefore, in this representation of our circumstances, to lay aside art, which ceases to be such when it is seen, and make use of all your skill to gain us what advantages you can from the...
Halaman 264 - I say, consider him whom you knew the greatest and most glorious of monarchs, and now think you see the same man an unhappy lazar, in the lowest circumstances of human nature itself, without regard to the state from whence he is fallen. I write from his...
Halaman 264 - ... new calamity. I know not in what terms to represent my thoughts to you, when I speak of the king, with relation to his bodily health.
Halaman 263 - ... that our wants here are not to be concealed : and that it is vanity to use artifices with the knowing men with whom you are to deal. Let me beg you, therefore, in this representation of our circumstances, to lay aside art, which ceases to be such when it is seen, and make use of all your skill to gain us what advantages you can from the enemy's jealousy of each other's greatness; which is the place where only you have room for any dexterity. If you have any passion for your unhappy country, or...
Halaman 196 - I have received tho letter which you have done me the honour to write to me on the 23rd of this month.
Halaman 59 - He told us, that the Hero was a Robber who did at the Head of an Army what a Highwayman would do alone.
Halaman 264 - Lazar, in the loweft circumlhnces of human nature itfelf, without regard to the ftate from whence he is fallen. I write from his bed-fide: he is at prefent in a (lumber. I have many, many things to add; but my tears flow too fail, and my forrow is too big for utterance. I am, Sec.
Halaman 35 - sensibly affected with the honour intended me, but I own that I think myself absolutely unfit for it. I live quietly, and is it proper for me to sacrifice both my repose and my liberty? Besides, that mysterious behaviour, that profound secrecy which they require of me, without positively giving me the key of it, may induce my friends to think a snare is laid for me. However, if the children belong to the king, I consent to it (evidently intimating she considered herself bound to obey her sovereign's...
Halaman 49 - I am quite incapable of preventing it. My tender affection for them renders me intolerable to those they belong to, and sometimes I determine to leave them to the management of their mother ; but should I not offend God by thus abandoning them and betraying the confidence their father has placed in me ?" The presents with which Louis recompensed Madame Scarron's care of his children she employed in purchasing the estate of Maintenon, fourteen miles from Paris, and ten from Versailles. This place...
Halaman 227 - with my joy at a new favour I have received from the king, which is, that he allowed me to see him yesterday in his closet. As I am indebted to you for all my favours, and as it is by your means that my reconciliation with the king has been made, my gratitude to you increases every day, and my friendship will very soon equal the esteem which is due to you."* What Madame' s professions of friendship and gratitude were worth may be estimated from the narratives preceding this letter.
