Courcillon was a dashing young fellow, much given to wittysayings, to mischief, to impiety, and to the filthiest debauchery, ofwhich latter, indeed, this operation passed publicly as the fruit. Hismother, Madams Dangeau, was in the strictest intimacy with Madame deMaintenon. They two alone, of all the Court, were ignorant of the lifeCourcillon led. Madame was much afflicted; and quitted his bed-side, even for a moment, with pain. Madame de Maintenon entered into hersorrow, and went every day to... bear her company at the pillow ofCourcillon. Madame d'Heudicourt, another intimate friend of Madame deMaintenon, was admitted there also, but scarcely anybody else. Courcillon listened to them, spoke devotionally to them, and uttered thereflections suggested by his state. They, all admiration, publishedeverywhere that he was a saint. Madame d'Heudicourt and a few others wholistened to these discourses, and who knew the pilgrim well, and saw himloll out his tongue at them on the sly, knew not what to do to preventtheir laughter, and as soon as they could get away went and related allthey had heard to their friends.
