people were presented first to the king, then to the queen, in different salons; of course magnificently dressed. the king, now that he was louis xvi., very often did not speak but always made a friendly, gracious gesture, and kissed the lady presented, on one cheek only if she was a simple femme de qualit��; on both if she was a duchess or grande d��espagne, or bore the name of one of the families who possessed the hereditary right to the honours of the louvre and the title of cousin of the king."a crape shawl for mother, and another for me; now don't you forget," said mary; "and some fans and some ivory combs, and some of those funny little cups and saucers such as aunt amelia has, and some nice tea to drink out of them."her nephews, alexis and alfred de noailles came to see her, and she went down to lagrange where the la fayettes were restoring the chateau, planting and repairing. she soon got her name taken off the proscribed list, then those of her husband, her aunt, her father, her father-in-law, and various other friends, who soon arrived in paris.��������ôլ�߶����������ϵ��ʽlouis xv., at this time about forty-five, extremely handsome, immersed in a life of pleasure, magnificence, and vice, was then under the domination of the duchesse de chateauroux, ma?tresse en titre, the youngest of the five daughters of the marquis de nesle, four of whom had been for a longer or shorter period the mistresses of louis xv. that such a father as the���������иߵ�θԡ������� king should have had such a son as the dauphin is astonishing indeed. the author of some fascinating memoirs of the day writes of him, ��if i have not yet spoken of m. le dauphin, do not suppose that it is from negligence or distraction, it is because the thought of his death always envelopes my mind like a funeral pall. his premature end is ever present with me, and is a subject of regret and affliction which i cannot approach without terrible emotion. he was so grievously mourned for, he has been so universally and justly praised, that there would not be much left me to tell you if i were not to speak of his perfect beauty, which was the least of his perfections, and which perhaps for that very reason, the writers of his time n
