She seems to have been very much beloved, to have shown great benevolence, and made herself numerous friends.

Her generosity and profusion, however, caused her to leave on her departure twelve hundred thousand francs of debt, which Ferdinand VI.

had to pay.

Scandal was not silent concerning her, and a lover was named in the young chevalier Larreteguy whose brother was at one time confined in the Chateau d'If for an impertinent exclamation which he made one day when the Queen's carriage was stopped by the crowd on the Pont Majour--"Room for my sister-in-law." A fine complexion and an air of majesty constituted her beauty; but she grew enormously fat, and was not remarkable for her outward attractions.
She seems to have exhibited some caprice in her rejection of a palace which she had caused to be built at great expense.

It was called the Chateau de Marrac, and had been erected under her orders with infinite care: when it was finished she refused to occupy it in consequence of one of her ladies having presumed to take possession of a suite of chambers previous to her having been regularly installed as mistress.
This was the reason assigned; but she had, it may be imagined, a better to give for abandoning a place which had cost her so much money.
She made frequent journeys to St.Jean Pied de Port, Bidache, Cambo, Terciis, &c., for her health, and was always received on her return to Bayonne with sovereign honours.
