There was no end to the outrageous civilities of M. de Coislin. On returning from Fontainebleau one day, we, that is Madame de Saint-Simon and myself, encountered M. de Coislin and his son, M. de Metz, on foot upon the pavement of Ponthierry, where their coach had broken down. We sent word, accordingly, that we should be glad to accommodate them in ours.
Bache gently shrugged his shoulders: "Liberty, liberty, of course," said he; "only it is worth nothing if it is not organised." Thereupon their everlasting discussion began afresh, with Saint-Simon and Fourier on one side and Proudhon and Auguste Comte on the other.
Madame d'Orleans went away, and I repaired with Madame de Saint-Simon to receive a numerous company. While thus all was tranquillity at Versailles, and even at Meudon, everything had changed its aspect at the chateau.
The Marriage Agreed Upon. Scene at Saint-Cloud. Horrible Reports. The Marriage. Madame de Saint-Simon. Strange Character of the Duchesse de Berry Birth of Louis XV. The Marechale de la Meilleraye. Saint-Ruth's Cudgel. The Cardinal de Bouillon's Desertion from France. Anecdotes of His Audacity. Imprudence of Villars. The Danger of Truthfulness. Military Mistakes. The Fortunes of Berwick.
The marriage took place with the usual ceremonies. The Duc de Beauvilliers and Madame de Saint-Simon drew the curtains of the couple when they went to bed; and laughed together at being thus employed. The King, who had given a very mediocre present of diamonds to the new Duchesse de Berry, gave nothing to the Duc de Berry.
Saint-Simon has arisen as the complement of Christ; as the modern exponent of the doctrine of equality, or rather of its practice, for theory has served its time " "Is he liberated?" asked the lunatic. "Like liberalism, it has had its day.
He would address merely a polite bow to Saint-Simon, the initiator, the first to lay down the law that work was a necessity for one and all according to their capacities; but on coming to Fourier his voice softened and he confessed his whole religion.
I found out afterwards that I had reason to attribute to Madame de Maintenon and M. du Maine the change in the King's intention towards me. Madame de Saint-Simon was delighted.
The revolution has been in preparation for nearly a century by Socialist and Communist propaganda, since the times of Robert Owen, Saint-Simon, and Fourier.
Evil reports even reached M. le Duc de Berry, who on his part, wishing to enjoy the society of his wife in full liberty, was importuned by the continual presence near her, of her father. To ward off a quarrel between son-in- law and father-in-law, based upon so false and so odious a foundation, appeared to Madame de Saint-Simon and myself a pressing duty.
