FORE:Mme. de Montesson had so far succeeded in her plan that she had, in 1773, been privately married to the Duke of Orl��ans. The marriage was celebrated at midnight in the presence of a small number of persons of high position. But the marriage, though known and recognised in society, was only a morganatic one. Louis XV. would never hear of her taking the rank and title of Duchess of Orl��ans, or any precedence that would have been the consequence. This was of course a continual grievance to her, but she was obliged to resign herself and make the best of the position, at any rate far more exalted than any to which she had the least pretension to aspire. She had an unbounded influence over the Duc d��Orl��ans, in whose household and amongst whose friends she was always treated as a princess, and with whom she led a life of unbounded luxury and magnificence. Like Mme. de Maintenon after her morganatic marriage with Louis XIV. she renounced the title of Marquise and was known as Mme. de Montesson, possibly thinking like the hero of the well-known incident: ��Princesse je ne puis pas, Marquise je ne veux pas, Madame je suis.����And why not grant it?��

FORE:Louis XVI. was the most unsuitable person to rule over the French, a nation more than any other alive to, and abhorrent of, any suspicion of ridicule or contempt. And to them the virtues and faults of Louis were alike ridiculous. When he interfered in the love affairs of the Prince de Cond��, and ordered the Princesse de Monaco to retire into a convent, the Prince de Cond�� became his enemy, and people laughed. When he spent hours and hours shut up alone making keys and locks they shrugged their shoulders, and asked if that was a diversion for the descendant of Henri IV. and Louis le Grand.Of course she thought all these denunciations most unjust and astonishing. Why, she asked, should they call her a ��savage fury,�� and abuse her in this way?

FORE:The Restoration was received with rapture by her and most of her family, not even La Fayette himself holding aloof from the welcome to the King.��If she is guilty she belongs to justice. But you are too magnanimous to strike an unarmed enemy, above all, a woman.��
