Note 217 — Chapter III · 1642 to 1644.
Frederick W. (Frederick William) Ricord translation
It is in vain that Mademoiselle says, vol. 1st, p. 47, that Madame de Longueville remained marked with the small-pox. Retz affirms the contrary. Edit. of Amsterdam, 1731, vol. i., p. 185: “The small-pox had taken away the first flower of her beauty, but left her all its brilliancy.”
