Carnet, iii. p. 45. "Mas contodo esto siendo el temor un compagnero inseparabile dell'affection," &c. Carnet, iv. p. 3. Madame de Motteville was in attendance on Anne of Austria when the rumour of the abortive attempt at assassination brought a crowd of courtiers to the Louvre in hot haste to protest their devotedness to the Crown.
