It is certain that the old gentleman, who had lived in days gone by with that feminine nation now as much forgotten as many other great things, like the Jesuits, the Buccaneers, the Abbes, and the Farmers-General, had acquired an irresistible good-humor, a kindly ease, a laisser-aller devoid of egotism, the self-effacement of Jupiter with Alcmene, of the king intending to be duped, who casts his thunderbolts to the devil, wants his Olympus full of follies, little suppers, feminine profusions but with Juno out of the way, be it understood.
