As for Mademoiselle, the King never quite forgave her the day of Saint Antoine; and I heard him once at supper reproach her in jest, for having fired the cannons of the Bastille upon his troops.

She was a little embarrassed, but she got out of the difficulty very well.
Her body was laid out with great state, watched for several days, two hours at a time, by a duchess or a princess, and by two ladies of quality.

The Comtesse de Soissons refused to take part in this watching, and would not obey until the King threatened to dismiss her from the Court.

A very ridiculous accident happened in the midst of this ceremony.

The urn containing the entrails fell over, with a frightful noise and a stink sudden and intolerable.
