At the Court one must make haste to obtain anything; but to be forgotten, a few minutes' delay is sufficient. Little Opportune. M. and Madame Bontems. The Young Moor Weaned. The Good Cure. The Blessed Virgin. Opportune at the Augustinians of Meaux. Bossuet Director. Mademoiselle Albanier and Leontine. Flight of Opportune. Her Threats of Suicide. Visit of the Marquise.

Albanier wrote to Leontine: "Tell Madame la Marquise that Opportune is full of wit; she resembles M. le Duc du Maine as though she were his twin; her carriage is exactly that of the King; her body is built to perfection, and were it not for her colour, the black of which diminishes day by day, she would be one of the loveliest persons in France; she is sad and melancholy by temperament, but as I have succeeded in attracting her confidence, and diverting her as much as one can do in a purgatory like this, we dance sometimes in secret, and then you would think you saw Mademoiselle de Nantes dance and pirouette.
Albanier lost no time in informing us that the little Opportune had begun to give her her confidence, and that the nuns took it in very good part, believing them both equally called to take the veil in their convent.

Mademoiselle Albanier, out of kindness to me, passed nearly two years in this house, which she always called her purgatory, but the endeavours of the superior and of M. Bossuet becoming daily more pressing, and her health, which had suffered, being unable to support the seclusion longer, she made up her mind to retire. Her departure was a terrible blow to the daughter of the Queen.
They were ignorant in the house of the relations of Mademoiselle Albanier with her sister Leontine Osselin, so that they wrote to each other, but by means of a cipher, and under seal, addressing their missives to a relative.
