M. Anatole France says that he suspects Mme. de La Fayette of having hated the King.
On dirait aux premiers rayons d'une aube d'hiver, terne et grise, le récit d'un rêve fait après une nuit d'insomnie, rêve poème, où les impressions et les objets se succèdent avec d'étranges incohérences et d'étranges transitions, comme ceux dont Byron dit: »....Dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, ..............................

The "mirage" effects of the southern sun pursue him to Paris; quick to promise out of the fullness of his hearty enthusiasm, he encourages and disappoints those who trust themselves to him. He deceives his wife, begs her forgiveness with abundant tears, and in a disgusting manner deceives her a second time. The book ends with the picture of Rosalie Roumestan bending over her new-born son.
