As for the slander about her gambling, I never saw her lose more than two thousand louis, and that was in games of etiquette, where she was always afraid of winning from those who were obliged to take part in them. I remember that one day I went into the antechamber and MEMOIR OF THE PRINCE DE LIGNE. 209 begged from her footmen twenty-five louis, which slio wanted to give to a woman in need. Her so-called gallantry was never anything but a deep, and perhaps distinguishing friendship for one or ...two persons, and the general coquetry of a woman and a queen who seeks to please everybody. Even in those earliest days, when her youth and inexperience might have encouraged some to be too much at their ease with her, there was not one of us who had the happiness of daily intercourse with her who would have dared to abuse it by even the most trifling impropriety ; she made herself the queen, without being aware of it, and we adored her, but did not dream of loving her. Her father, Francis I. , received at his table the principal officers of the crown, and allowed them the utmost liberty.
