Fontanges. Very much.
Bossuet. Are you resolved to leave it off?
Fontanges. I have left it off entirely since the King began to love me. I have never said a spiteful word of anybody since.
Bossuet. In your opinion, mademoiselle, are there no other sins than malice?
Fontanges. I never stole anything; I never committed adultery; I never coveted my neighbour's wife; I never killed any person, though several have told me they should die for me.
Bossuet. Vain, idle talk! Did you listen to it?
Fontanges. Indeed I did, with both ears; it seemed so funny.
Bossuet. You have something to answer for, then?
Fontanges. No, indeed, I have not, monseigneur. I have asked many times after them, and found they were all alive, which mortified me.
