Note 93 — II MADAME DE MAINTENON[73]

Reading edition

Saint-Simon, I. 274, says that Mme de Maintenon dined regularly once, and sometimes twice a week, either at the Hôtel de Beauvillier or the Hôtel de Chevreuse at Versailles with the two Dukes and their wives. But the affair of Quietism put an end to their intimate meetings, for both Dukes were close allies of Fénelon.
