--Love and Friendship.
Out of affection and respect for the Queen-mother, the King had untilthen sought to conceal the ardour of his attachment for Mademoiselle dela Valliere. It was after the six months of mourning that he shook offall restraint, showing that, like any private person, he felt himselfmaster of his actions and his inclinations.
He gave the Vaujours estate to his mistress, after formally constitutingit a duchy, and, owing to the two children of his duchy, Mademoiselle dela Vallie...re assumed the title of Duchess. What a fuss she made at thistime! All that was styled disinterestedness, modesty. Not a bit of it. It was pusillanimity and a sense of servile fear. La Valliere would haveliked to enjoy her handsome lover in the shade and security of mystery, without exposing herself to the satire of courtiers and of the public, and, above all, to the reproaches of her family and relatives, who nearlyall were very devout.
On this head, however, she soon saw that such fears were exaggerated.
