With so many chdteaux under discussion it was not surprising that the Queen should desire another one of her own. Mercy heard that her Majesty had asked the King to give her Meudon, with its demesnes ; and he hastened at once Digitized by Google 22 December, 1777 5^7 to tell her how her favourites had abused her confidence. He explained that Meudon was an ancient, crumbling Royal possession that existed only because there was a governor, with a salary, to see that it was not demolished. The Sup...erintendent of Buildings had informed the King that Meudon, already half-ruined and entirely useless, had better be pulled down. The Governor of Meudon, whose sinecure would cease with the chdteau^ knew that the only way to preserve both a little longer was to induce the Queen to become its owner. After pointing out this intrigue, Mercy informed her that this Royal house cost 40,000 livres [j£ 1,600] a year to keep up ; and to be made habitable would require more than 1,500,000 livres [^60,000] to be spent upon its dilapidations.
