He winked, therefore, at all the escapades performed or threatened by his son, andsaid nothing, not being sorry that the King should become uneasy, whichwas soon the case. The King at last spoke to Monsieur; and being coldly received, reproachedhim for not knowing how to exercise authority over his son. Upon thisMonsieur fired up; and, quite as much from foregone decision as fromanger, in his turn asked the King what was to be done with a son at suchan age: who was sick of treading the gallerie...s of Versailles and thepavement of the Court; of being married as he was, and of remaining, asit were, naked, whilst his brothers-in-law were clothed in dignities, governments, establishments, and offices, --against all policy and allexample. His son, he said, was worse off than any one in the King'sservice, for all others could earn distinction; added, that idleness wasthe mother of all vice, and that it gave him much pain to see his onlyson abandon himself to debauchery and bad company; but that it would becruel to blame a young man, forced as it were into these follies, and tosay nothing against him by whom he was thus forced.
