However flattered she may have been by this concourse, she had matters tooccupy her, pleaded want of repose, and shut her door to three people outof four who called upon her. Curiosity, perhaps fashion, drew this greatcrowd to her. The ministers were startled by it. Torcy had orders fromthe King to go, and see her: he did so; and from that moment Madame desUrsins changed her tone. Until then her manner had been modest, supplicating, nearly timid. She now saw and heard so much that fromdefendant..., which she had intended to be, she thought herself in acondition to become accuser; and to demand justice of those who, abusingthe confidence of the King, had drawn upon her such a long and cruelpunishment, and made her a show for the two kingdoms. All that happenedto her surpassed her hopes. Several times when with me she has expressedher astonishment; and with me has laughed at many people, often of muchconsideration, whom she scarcely knew, or who had been strongly opposedto her, and who basely crouched at her feet.
