Nothing, however, was breathed of these suspicions, beyond avery restricted circle; for the Princess took snuff with the knowledge ofMadame de Maintenon, but without that of the King, who would have made afine scene if he had discovered it. This was what was feared, if thesingular loss of the box became divulged. Let me here say, that although one of my friends, the Archbishop ofRheims, believed to his dying day that the Duc de Noailles had poisonedthe Dauphine by means of this box of Spanish s...nuff, I never could inducemyself to believe so too. The Archbishop declared that in the manner ofthe Duc de Noailles, after quitting the chamber of the Princess, therewas something which suggested both confusion and contentment. He broughtforward other proofs of guilt, but they made no impression upon me. Iendeavoured, on the contrary, to shake his belief, but my labour was invain. I entreated him, however, at least to maintain the most profoundsilence upon this horrible thought, and he did so. Those who afterwards knew the history of the box--and they were in goodnumber--were as inaccessible to suspicion as I; and nobody thought ofcharging the Duc de Noailles with the offence it was said he hadcommitted.
