I agree with your ideas, however, as to the mind and the sub- 104 LAST DAYS OF ARCHDUKE RUDOLPH conscious and the deductions as to love and friendship which you draw from them. I dis- agree heartily, however, with your idea — inter- estingly stated, I admit — that women love longer than men. That is certainly not the case in any grade of life, and least of all in my own. I doubt if princes are ever loved for themselves, and even if they are they never have the satisfaction of realising it by an...y possible test. You mention La Valli^re. I do not think she had any positive love for Louis, which was not primarily based on the hope that she would one day share his throne — a venal love, which is no love at all in your sense, but rather, as you say, one of social con- venience or expediency : ambition, in fine, which placed herself first, in reality, and the King in the second place. This she would not, of course, admit to herself.
*' Women are the eternal victims of self- delusion ; they have no religious sense as men have a religious sense — that is to say, a man who really possesses and professes a religion feels him- self bound by the ordinances of that religion; but by what ordinances will a woman consider herself bound when she is given, say, religion on the one hand, and on the other, not the man she loves, but the man who loves her ?
