, DUC DE BOURBON. I knew a German gentleman who has now been dead a long time (1718), whohas sworn to me positively that the Duchess is not the daughter of theKing, but of Marechal de Noailles. He noted the time at which he saw theMarshal go into Montespan's apartment, and it was precisely nine monthsfrom that time that the Duchess came into the world. This German, whosename was Bettendorf, was a brigadier in the Body Guard; and he was onguard at Montespan's when the captain of the first compan...y paid thisvisit to the King's mistress. The Duchess is not prettier than her daughters, but she has more grace;her manners are more fascinating and agreeable; her wit shines in hereyes, but there is some malignity in them also. I always say she is likea very pretty cat, which, while you play with it, lets you feel it hasclaws. No person has a better carriage of the head. It is impossible todance better than the Duchess and her daughters can; but the motherdances the best. I do not know how it is, but even her lameness isbecoming to her.
