To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They contain the gossip of the salons of Paris, the gallantries and the intrigues of the court. There is not much to tell of the doings of the A LETTER FROM VOITURE l8l king ; but of the insolent airs and the extravagant dress of his present favourite, Cinq Mars, and of the toleration this meets with from the cardinal, many hints, but very guarded hints, are given. There is a letter also from Voiture, it is addressed to Mademoiselle Anne de Bourbon, and as it tells of the tossing in a counterpa...ne at Rambouillet, where one would have supposed nothing so undig- nified could ever have taken place, it may be as well to let this famous bel esprit tell the story himself, observing only that the company at Ram- bouillet had been amusing themselves by playing at "forfeits. " Voiture had been desired to say or do something that, within a certain number of minutes, should make them laugh. He had undertaken to do so, and failed. This failure was deemed a punishable offence, and Madame de Rambouillet, at the request of Julie and Angelique Paulet (who could have believed it T), decreed that poor Voiture should be tossed in a counterpane as many times as he had been allowed minutes to accomplish the feat he had failed in.
