which she is at first much criticized。



'28'。  〃When I arrived in France M。 de Choiseul's reign was just

over。  The woman who seemed nice to him; or could only please his

sister…in…law the Duchesse de Gramont; was sure of being able to

secure the promotion to colonel and lieutenant general of any man they

proposed。  Women were of consequence even in the eyes of the old and of

the clergy; they were thoroughly familiar; to an extraordinary degree;

with the march of events; they knew by heart the characters and habits

of the king's friends and ministers。  One of these; on returning to his

chateau from Versailles; informed his wife about every thing with

which he had been occupied; at home he says one or two words to her

about his water…color sketches; or remains silent and thoughtful;

pondering over what he has just heard in Parliament。  Our poor ladies

are abandoned to the Society of those frivolous men who; for want of

intellect; have no ambition; and of course no employment (dandies)。〃

(Stendhal; 〃Rome; Naples; and Florence;〃 377。  A narrative by Colonel

Forsyth)。



'29'。  De Bezenval; 49; 60。  … 〃Out of twenty seigniors at the court

'33'。  De Lauzun; 51。  … Champfort; 39。  … 〃The Duc de  …  whose wife

had just been the subject of scandal; complained to his mother…in…law:

the latter replied with the greatest coolness; 'Eh; Monsieur; you make

a good deal of talk about nothing。  Your father was much better

company。' 〃 (Mme。  d'Oberkirk; II。  135; 241)。  …  〃A husband said to

his wife; I allow you everything except princes and lackeys。' He had

it right since these two extremes brought dishonor on account of the

scandal attached to them。〃 (Sénac de Meilhan; 〃Considérations sur les

moeurs。)  …  On a wife being discovered by a husband; he simply

exclaims; 〃Madame; what imprudence! Suppose that I was any other man。〃

'34'。  See in this relation the somewhat ancient types; especially

Antoine: 〃I never had the honor of kissing the cheek of that venerable

man。  。  。  At the Academy; being two hundred leagues away from him; the

mere thought of him made me dread every youthful amusement which could

be followed by the least unfavorable results。〃  …  Paternal authority

seems almost as rigid among the middle and lower classes。
