| Lennox, Charlotte (Ramsay). The Lady’s Museum, 1760-61. | “who are inclined to give faith to such kind of forebodings will lay some stress upon this relation. The two lovers renewed their endearments; and in every thing they said to each other at that moment, some persons have pretended to find proofs of these presages of an inevitable fate.” | adaptation | Sully, Maximilien de Béthune, duc de.

| Lennox, Charlotte (Ramsay). The Lady’s Museum, 1760-61. | “that would have appeared to be the last instances of the most intimate friendship to those, who, like madame de Sully, knew not that the dutchess, who had no great share of understanding, was not very delicate in the choice of her confidants. It was her highest pleasure to entertain any person she first saw with her schemes and expectations; and when she conversed with her inferiors, she scarce submitted to any caution; for with them she no longer guarded her expressions, but often assumed the state and language of a queen. | adaptation | Sully, Maximilien de Béthune, duc de.

| Lennox, Charlotte (Ramsay). The Lady’s Museum, 1760-61. | “could not avoid shewing some surprize at the dutchess's discourse, especially when that lady, making an absurd assemblage of the civilities practised among persons of equal rank with these airs of a queen, told her she might come to her coucher and lever when she pleased, with many other speeches of the same kind.” | adaptation | Sully, Maximilien de Béthune, duc de.

| Lennox, Charlotte (Ramsay). The Lady’s Museum, 1760-61. | “appeared to me so improbable, that I made him repeat his words several times; and when convinced that it was true, I felt my mind divided between grief for the condition to which her death reduced the king, and joy for the advantages all France would derive from it, which was increased, by my being fully persuaded that the king would by this transitory affliction purchase a release from a thousand anxieties, and much more anguish of heart than what he now actually suffered. I went up again to my wife's chamber full of these reflections, ‘You will neither go to the dutchess's Coucher nor Lever,’ said I, ‘for she is dead.’” | adaptation | Sully, Maximilien de Béthune, duc de.
