31/72 _Burnet,_ after mentioning the murder of the Duchess of Orleans, says:--I will set down one story of her, that was told me by a person of distinction, who had it from some who were well informed of the matter .-- _Swift._ Poor authority. _Burnet._ Madame [the Duchess of Orleans] had an intrigue with another person, whom I knew well, the Count of Treville. When she was in her agony, she said, "Adieu, Treville." He was so struck with this accident, that it had a good effect on him; for he went and lived many years among the Fathers of the Oratory, and became both a very learned, and devout man. He came afterwards out into the world. I saw him often. |
