Madame de la Motte, who had been at Chaillot, preferred the old Marquisde Richelieu to the King. She declared to His Majesty that her heart wasno longer disposable, but that it was at length fixed. I can never think, without anger, of the evil which has been spoken ofthe late King, and how little His Majesty has been regretted by those towhom he had done so much good.
