Most exacting, yet never satisfied, she had no regard for the interests or honor of the weak king, to whose lower nature only she appealed. Mme. de Montespan was of noble birth, being the youngest daughter of Rochechouart, first Duke of Mortemart. She was born in 1641, at the grand old château of Tonnay-Charente, and was educated at the convent of Sainte-Marie.
Do you not remember, Montalais, the woods of Cheverny and of Chambord, the innumerable rustling poplars of Blois, where we exchanged our mutual hopes?" "And confidences too?" "Yes." "Well," said Mademoiselle de Tonnay-Charente, "I also think a good deal; but I take care "
Stop! let us allow poor La Valliere's carriage to pass. Look, how uneasy she is! How her eyes, dim with tears, follow the king, who is riding on horseback yonder!" "With whom?"
