King Louis XV - The Death of Madame de Pompadour
You just missed her. She’ll be in Paris by six. Good Lord, she was right. She said you never looked a day older. So many years since I saw you last but not a day of it on your face. She spoke of you many times, often wished you’d visit again. You know how women are. There she goes. Leaving Versailles for the last time. Only 43 when she died, too young, too young. Illness took her in the end, she always did work too hard. What does she say? Of course. Quite right.
