Si vous me permettez d'ajouter un seul mot qui vous prouvera que je l'ai lu avec attention, je vous signalerai un lapsus calami qui vous a echappe. Le fondateur de notre branche d'Orleans, fils de Louis XIII, frere de Louis XIV, s'appelait Philippe et non Gaston.

The corruption of the regency planted the seeds of vice in French morals, and they yielded a plentiful harvest. How well has St.-Évremond described that epoch in his playful, but sarcastic verses! "Une politique indulgente, De notre nature innocente, Favorisait tous les désirs; Tout goût paraissait légitime, La douce erreur ne s'appelait point crime, Les vices délicats se nommalent des plaisirs."

But were not these the manners of which St. Evremond lightly sang "'La douce erreur ne s'appelait point crime; Les vices delicats se nommaient des plaisirs." "Mistress Kirkland has an inexorable modesty which would outlive even a week at Whitehall, sir," answered Rochester. "If I did not adore the matron I should worship the maid. Happily for the wretch who loves her I am otherwise engaged!"
