It is, however, sufficient to say that she had one day to persuade him that he was the cause of a libertinism of which he was really the victim. Memoires de Duclos, tome ii.

I shook his hand, saying, "My dear chevalier, it will be enough if you do not demand satisfaction of me." He understood how the land lay, and said no more about it; but not so his sister, the Marchioness de Prie, who made a vigorous attack on me after we had danced together.
She scowled at me at table, and when the meal was over the Marquis de Prie told me that they had some new cards, and that everybody was longing to see me make a bank. I went for my money, and I made a bank of five hundred louis. At seven o'clock I had lost more than half that sum, but for all that I put the rest in my pocket and rose from the table.
The celebrated women of the regency—Mme. de Prie, Mme. de Parabère, Mme. de Sabran—had no salon, while those of the Marquis d'Alluys and the Hôtels de Sully, de Duras, de Villars, and the suppers of Mme. de Chauvelin were of a distinctly different type from those of the earlier and the later periods.

"Oh, they called me so because I was such a little round white baby.
"Do you, Thérèse?" A kiss fell on Julie's cheek. "Ce soir, j'ai beaucoup prié la Sainte Vierge pour vous!" she said, in a timid and hurried whisper. Julie made no immediate reply. She rose from her knees, her hand still clasped in that of the crippled girl. "Did you put those pictures on my mantel-piece, Thérèse?" "Yes." "Why?" The child hesitated.
I should have done well to go, but I had not the strength; all I could do was to promise myself that I would be extremely prudent.
