The Duke of York said to them, with that serene and pleasant countenance with which men generallyannounce good news: "As you are the two men of the court whom I mostesteem, I am desirous you should first have the honour of paying yourcompliments to the Duchess of York: there she is. " Surprise was of no use, and astonishment was unseasonable on the presentoccasion: they were, however, so greatly possessed with both surprise andastonishment, that in order to conceal it, they immediately fell on ...theirknees to kiss her hand, which she gave to them with as much majesty as ifshe had been used to it all her life.
The next day the news was made public, and the whole court was eager topay her that respect, from a sense of duty, which in the end became verysincere.
The petits-maitres who had spoken against her, seeing their intentionsdisappointed, were not a little embarrassed. Women are seldom accustomedto forgive injuries of this nature; and, if they promise themselves thepleasure of revenge, when they gain the power they seldom forget it: inthe present case, however, the fears of these petits-maitres were theironly punishment.
