Context
“The king and princess looked gloomily at this scene, as spectators of maturer age look on at the games of little children. “They seem to be amusing themselves there,” said the king.
“Greatly, sire; I have always found that people are amused wherever youth and beauty are to be found.”
“What do you think of Mademoiselle de Tonnay-Charente, Henrietta?” inquired the king.
“I think she has rather too much flax-yellow and lily-whiteness in her complexion,” replied Madame, fixing in a moment upon the only fault it was possible to find in the almost perfect beauty of the future Madame de Montespan.””
