Note 12 — SECOND PART FROM THE DEATH OF HIM I HAD BELIEVED MY FATHER UNTIL THE PRESENT TIME
M. Harriet M. (Magdalen Harriet Mary) Capes translation
It is known that in 1782, the Duc de Chartres took them out of the hands of a man to entrust them to this notorious woman, and that this unprecedented innovation, which was in great part the cause of the subsequent differences between the Duke and his wife, was the occasion of many lampoons and satires. See the Vie Politique de Louis-Philippe d’Orléans, and other works.
