Chapelain, the author of La Pucelle, ' had written to express his concern at her illness, and when replying to his letter she asked him for the eighth volume of ' Le Grand Cyrus, ' which was then coming out. When she received it she was profoundly touched to find that in the depth of her adversity and the dis- grace of her party ...it had been dedicated to her.
