"You are drowning yourself in a glass of water," said my future brother-in-law to him, beginning to treat him with less ceremony;"go back to the duchesse de Grammont, and tell her that madame was married at Toulouse.

She would have been thought simple, unsophisticated, and yet was full of plot and cunning.

I was soon much pleased with her, and the king became equally so. He was always very much amused at hearing her talk <patois>
