On the death of Lanskoi, it is recorded of her that "she gave herself up to the most poignant grief, and remained three months without going out of her palace of Czarsko Selo," thus perpetrating a very curious practical satire upon the holiest of human affections.
Strange that each Russian empress was not attended by a few of her favorite grenadiers, with "the fair- faced Lanskoi," her boy-lover, thrown in as lagniappe. More than one hundred Louis XVths and only ten Pompadours! What a pity!
How proud a genuine American gentleman one untainted with royalist fever would have felt to see his wife or daughter posing as the leman of Lanskoi, of Louis XVth, or le Grande Monarque of whom Three-Eyed Billy of England once said that he selected young men for his ministers and corrupt old cats for his mistresses!
