When the Queen stayed at Petit Trianon the passion of this unhappy man became still more annoying.

He would hastily swallow a morsel at some eating-house, and spend all the rest of the day, even when it rained, in going round and round the garden, always walking at the edge of the moat.

The Queen frequently met him when she was either alone or with her children; and yet she would not suffer any violence to be used to relieve her from this intolerable annoyance.

Having one day given M.de Seze permission to enter Trianon, she sent to desire he would come to me, and directed me to inform that celebrated advocate of M.de Castelnaux's derangement, and then to send for him that M.de Seze might have some conversation with him.

He talked to him nearly an hour, and made considerable impression upon his mind; and at last M.de Castelnaux requested me to inform the Queen positively that, since his presence was disagreeable to her, he would retire to his province.
