. . . Some time ago I saw our demoiselles folding the linen with an activity which left them no leisure to think or to feel dull.
They were silent for a moment, and then they began to sing hymns. I admired the innocence of their life and your happiness in averting so many sins by restraining so great a number of young persons at so dangerous an age." In growing old, Madame de Maintenon has become austere. " Flee from men," she says, " as from your mortal enemies. Never be alone with them. Take ...no pleasure in hearing that you are pretty, amiable, or have a fine voice. The world is a malignant deceiver which seldom means what it says ; and the majority of men who say such things as these to girls do it, hoping to find some means of ruining them." Satiated and disillusioned by earthly vanities, she wishes to inspire others with her disgust for human grandeurs. She says to the pupils of Saint-Cyr, with the accent of conviction: "Princes and prin- cesses are seldom contented anywhere, and are tired of everything.
