Short as it is, life is long enough for the vengeance of God to be accom- plished, even on the earth.
After long clinging to the wrecks of her fortune and her beauty, like a shipv\i-ecked sailor to the frag- ments of his vessel, she who had formerly been called the mistress " thundering and triumphant," at last resigned herself to retirement. On March 15, 1691, she caused Bossuet to inform the King that she had chosen her course of action, and would this time abandon Versailles forever. Thus th...e prelate who had essayed sixteen j^ears before to wrest her from the clasp of guilty passions was the same to whom she now had recourse to break the last link of the chain. And yet she still had hesitations and regrets. A month after this pious resolution, Dan- geau wrote: "Madame de Montespan has been at Clagny for several days, and has gone back to Paris.
She says she has not absolutely given up the court, that she will see the King sometimes, and that in fact they have been somewhat hasty in unfurnishing her apartment." But the favorite had been taken at her word.
