Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Court of France, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Year 1684 to the Year 1720, Now First Translated From the Dairy of the Marquis De Dangeau; With Historical and Critical Notes His excesses shortened his life, and interfered greatly with his business. A vast number of people were losers by his death, and many ladies appeared deeply affected in the saloon but when they sat down to table, and had drawn the twelfth cake, the King shewed so much gaiety, that it was remarked and imitated; he exclaimed merrily, The Queen drinks turned his plate, and rattled on it with his spoon and fork, which was instantly seconded by those who were most grieved, and was re newed, as if they were striving who should make the most noise, every time the Queen of the company drank, which she was frequently urged to repeat.
