131 king is master. I have tried to serve him with my best ; I hope another may be more fortunate and please him better. It is much that I can rely upon his kindness, and also that I receive these marks of it at the present moment." He then asked if he was permitted to write to the king, and whether they would do him the kindness to take charge of his letter. On being assured of this, he instantly wrote a page and a half of respects and thanks, which he read to them. He had just finished the re...port the king had asked for ; and saying so to the two dukes as if rejoicing in it, he gave it to them to transmit to the king with his letter. That evening, Mme. de Saint-Simon being seated at the king's supper immediately behind the Duchesse de Bour- gogne, the latter told her of the downfall, the pensions, and the office for the son. After supper, which Mme. de Saint- Simon thought very long, the princess came to her and charged her to take much friendliness from her to the daughters of Chamillart, especially the Duchesse de Lorges, whom she loved, and say to them how she pitied them, and also to assure them of her protection and all the allevia- tions of their misfortune which might depend on her.
