Thus matters stood in the early summer of 1652, and "all that was most subtle and serious in politics," La Rochefoucauld tells us, "was brought under the attention of Condé to induce him to take one of two courses to make peace or to continue the war; when Madame de Châtillon imbued him with a design for peace by means the most agreeable.
