MONSIEUR, the brother of Louts XIV. seemed created
as the very counterpart of the latter. He was mean in figure and
in character, and occupied incessantly upon trifles ; be spent more
time it his toilett and looking.glaas than any pretty woman. He
was always covered with perfumes, laces, and diamonds. Passion_
ately food of fetes and spectacles, it was only to be the hero of one
of these that he suddenly took it into his head to be married.
Them were many Ladles at Court suited to the alliance, and of a
proportionate age, but they could not bear him, and he made
proposals to a Princess, who deliberately replied, " Sir, you owe
me respect, for I refused in marriage two crowned beads the
day you were born." The Prince then supplicated the Queen
of England to bestow upon him her beautiful daughter Hen-
rietta, who had been brought up in Paris during the impri-
sonmeut and misfortunes of her father, Charles the First. The
young Princess united hs bereelf grace, beauty, and spirit,
with the most affable goodness, and she possessed talents and a
character of mind becoming a Sovereign Princess. Her coquetry
was often the result of her amiable disposidon. Monsieur, her
husband, one day said to her gallantly, " Do you know, Madame.
what it was that made me so absolutely desirous of marrying you ?
It was your being daughter and sister of Kings of England. In
your country, women inherit the throne, and if Charles IL and my
cousin of York were to die without children, (which is very likely.)
you would be Queen and I would be King." " Heavens, Sir,
what a wicked idea !" replied the wife, with tears in her eyes
" I love my brothers better than myself I hope they will have
offspring as they deserve, and that I shall never be condemned to
return among those cruel English that have ucrificed me father."
The Prince tried to persuade her that a sceptre and a crown were
always worth accepting. " Yes," replied Henrietta, "by those
who know how to wear them." A short time after, be again
.poke to her of her expectations, and every minute he was
repeating—" If I should ever be a King, I would do-
-If I were King I would order—lf I were ever King, I
would—" " We must hope, my good friend," replied the
Princess, "that you'll never be King in England, for there your
trappings would make the people hoot at you; nor in France,
where you would be thought too small after the present King."
The Prince was exceedingly mortified at this, and the next day be
ordered his shoemaker Lambertin to add two full inches to
his heels. Madame having told the King of this childishness,
he was much diverted with it, and had his heels raised
in the same proportion, so that whenever the Prince ap-
peared with raised heels, he still found himself a short man by
.he side of the King. The Princess was prematurely delivered,
and the Curate of Sr. Cloud resisted the reiterated importunities of
the Prince to baptise the abortion. At last the Prince wrote to
his brother the King, that be might have for the ct lid a grandlu-
neral procession to St. Denis. A proposal so ridiculous was trot
listened to, and the pour Prince took the refu.al grievously to
heart fur a full nionth.r.,,fiellifraos, moda„, moxinpau.
