His Court and The Regency by Duc de Saint-Simon]@TWC D-Link book His Court and The Regency 18/30 The Duc d'Uzes thought this so amusing that he marched in front of the Duchess, crying out, as loud as he could--"Place, place for Madame Charlotte Seguier!" In the afternoon the King and Queen of England came to Versailles with their Court. There was a great concert; and the play-tables were set out. The supper was similar to the dinner. Afterwards the married couple were led into the apartment of the new Duchesse de Chartres. The Queen of England gave the Duchess her chemise; and the shirt of the Duke was given to him by the King, who had at first refused on the plea that he was in too unhappy circumstances. |
