One of them was lately impertinent to a countryman, who thrashed him. His Royal Highness sent angrily to know the cause.

You know, to be sure, that Madame de Craon's daughter, Madame de Boufflers, has the greatest power with King Stanislaus. Our old friend the Princess de Craon goes seldom to Luneville for this reason, not enduring to see her daughter on that throne which she so long filled with absolute empire.
