The newly made countess was solemnly presented at court by a countess of an ancient date, namely, the Countess de Bearn. The duc de Choiseul protested, France protested, but all Versailles threw itself passionately at the feet of the new countess. Even the daughters of the King paid her court, and allowed her to call them by their pet names: Loque, Chiffe, and Graille.
Louis XV did the same with his own daughters: he had amongst them a <Loque>, a <Graille>, a <Chiffe>, and they were the ladies Victoire, Adelaide, and Sophie, whom he thus elegantly designated. I so soon saw the taste of the king for nicknames that I gave him one, it was Lafrance. So far from being angry with me, he laughed to tears every time that I called him so.
