Behind safely closed doors she gives free vent to her fury. It chanced, one fine day, that somebody in Louvois' office grew curious to know what Madame might be setting forth in the endless letters she was sending to her German kinsfolk. The missives were opened. They revealed the fashion in which Madame was abusing the French Court, and holding forth about the King's marriage to '* this piece of filth. " Madame received a jobation, and the person who gave it her was Madame de Maintenon. The la...dy shed tears, blew her nose many times, made any number of promises. She was fain to come to terms and sue for peace. So gentle were the methods employed by the insulted party that more than once, in letters ultimately copied by the Ladies of Saint-Gyr, the Princess felt herself obliged to express her gratitude to her enemy. It was really not till after the King's death, as we have already said, that 155 MADAME DE MAINTENON Madame, then freed from all restraint, began her regular attack upon " the slut, '' the " witch, " who, according to her letters, would never have retained the position she had usurped but for the help of a conspiracy of evil spirits.
