Excerpt from Story of the Princess Des Ursins in Spain: Camarera-Mayor Mon Dieu, Madame! Exclaims Madame de Maintenon, how happy you are! And how delightfully you jest! There is never a tinge of bitterness in what you say. Your gaiety of heart finds its way even to my heart, and gives me the only cheerfulness I can boast of at present. And again she writes You have a good courage, a happy vein of humour, and a hopeful temperament; these are powerful aids in overcoming misfortune.
