She wished to have her near herself ; to pray over her tomb for the consummation of her happi- ness ; to find there the inspiration to do any good work, and from the hope of re- union to draw the courage needed to be faithful to all that grace demands. Madame de la Rochefoucauld. 217 While pursuing her plan, her heart is again saddened by a grievous loss. After being detained at Paris, to hasten the wind- ing up of some business, she made great speed to rejoin her mother-in-law, whom she had le...ft at Montmirail unwell. She set forth then, as fast as possible, with her hus- band. On the way an accident to the car- riage having made the good duchess fear for a moment that her son was crushed to death, she experienced such a shock that her health was shaken by it for a long time. This was only the beginning of the troubles of this sad journey, As they approached home, the embarrassment of, the castle-servants, their hesitation in an- swering the eager questions of the duke and duchess, increased their anxiety Their presentiments were only too well founded ; the viscountess had just expired in her easy-chair, without any suspicion on her part or on the part of those about her that she was near her end.
