Synopsis
Excerpt from Madame, Mother of the Regent, 1652-1722 Arvede Barine (Mme. Charles Vincens) died November 14, 1908. The last chapter of her book Madame was planned, but not written. All her readers admired Mme. Arvede Barine's great charm of style, her extraordinary powers of psychological observation, her indefatigable industry, her conscientiousness, and especially her rare gift of making the people who appear in her books live and breathe, act, speak, hate, love before our very eyes. With all her many gifts, never was writer, man or woman, more truly modest. She never spoke of herself or of her works. To the world of letters, her death is a great loss; to those who loved her - and they were many - a great sorrow. This is no official history: it is a familiar and intimate story of Madame, of Louis XIV., and of those who surrounded him. Madame was a wide-awake witness; she opened her eyes, noted, and wrote - wrote unceasingly, abundantly, indiscreetly, and always with a spirit which made of her correspondence a mine for historians, especially for those who hated France.
