Among the ladies who visited at her relative's house was a certain Madame Marigny, a very pretty young widow. Madame Marigny and Louise formed a sudden and intimate friendship. The widow was moving from Versailles into an apartment at Paris, and invited Louise to share it. She had consented.
"Really, Monsieur Marigny, I fail to understand you. Why should you express a doubt? He appeared to be confident enough five minutes ago. He was ready to start until we prevented him." That the girl should yield to slight panic was precisely what Count Edouard desired.
M. de Marigny, and Colin, Madame de Pompadour's steward, were of the same opinion as Quesnay, that the author of this letter was extremely malicious; that he insulted Madame, and tried to injure Voltaire; but that he was, in fact, right. Voltaire, from that moment, was entirely out of favour with Madame, and with the King, and he certainly never discovered the cause.
But the Ambassadeurs, and the Alcazar d'Ete and the Folies Marigny and Olympia and such-like stages where fame and fortune are to be found, will have none of him. Paris, too, gets on his vagabond nerves. But what is the good of presenting the unsophisticated public of Brest or Beziers with an imitation of Monsieur le Bargy? As well give them lectures on Thermodynamics.
And Contenson related Nucingen's meeting with Esther, adding that the Baron had now some further information. "All right," said Peyrade, "we will find his Dulcinea; tell the Baron to come to-night in a carriage to the Champs-Elysees the corner of the Avenue de Gabriel and the Allee de Marigny." Peyrade saw Contenson out, and knocked at his daughter's rooms, as he always knocked to be let in.

Medenham read and reread this harsh letter many times. Then, out of brooding chaos, leaped one fiery question where was Marigny? The gate which Cynthia's father had shut and bolted in his face did not frighten him.
Many went no farther than New Orleans or its suburbs, but settled, some in and about the old rue Chartres the Thomas family, for example; others in the then new faubourg Marigny, where Eva Kropp's daughter, Salome's young cousin Eva, for one, seems to have gone into domestic service.
Things improved, from day to day, and de Machault, the faithless friend, was dismissed. The King returned to Madame de Pompadour, as usual. I learnt, by M. de Marigny, that the Abbe had been, one day, with M. d'Argenson, to endeavour to persuade him to live on friendly terms with Madame, and that he had been very coldly received.
Marigny looked at him with a new interest. The amber-colored glasses, turned toward the boy seemed to frighten him, and he began to whimper. "I didn't mean any harm," he said, "but raspberry jam was so funny for a ghost to have on him!" "It would have been," assented Marigny, "but that, I feel sure, existed only in Miss Ames' fancy.
