Mademoiselle Ferrand's father is apparently described by d'Hozier as 'Ferrand, Ecuyer, Sieur des Marres et de Ronville en Normandie. Many of Charles's letters are addressed to 'Mademoiselle Luci, SISTER of 'La Grandemain. Now Madame de Vasse seems, from a passage in the Duc de Luynes's 'Memoires, to have been the only daughter of her father, M. de Peze.

Years earlier he had told Mademoiselle Luci that the Princesse de Talmond 'would not let him leave the house. Now he scarcely ventured to take a walk. His mistress was obviously on ill terms with his most faithful adherents; the loyal Goring abandoned his ungrateful service; the Earl Marischal bade him farewell; his English partisans withdrew their support and their supplies. The end had come.
I venture a guess at Lady Montagu, because Dr. Dominique, Faubourg de St. Germain, in which street Montesquieu lived.
