A princess of intrigue, Anne Geneviève de Bourbon, duchesse de Longueville and her times . daughter,Marie dOrleans, the future Duchesse de Nemours, ablyseconded their efforts. Mile, de Longueville, a practical and rather common-place young woman, the exact antithesis of her step-mother, had scant sympathy with the latters ambitiousprojects, and had, from the first, regarded her witha dislike which had gradually ripened into positiveaversion. Probably, there were faults on both sides,since even Victor Cousin is fain to admit that the elderprincess had little affection for her step-daughter,and perhaps did not consider her sufficiently. Anyway, the latter employed all her influence over herfather, who was greatly attached to her, to increasehis irritation against his wife. The result was that Longueville proceeded to addresssome very forcible remonstrances to his consort inregard to her conduct, both public and private, whichwere, as we may suppose, very badly received, and endedby requesting her to accompany him to Normandy,where she might more profitably employ her energies. iiuuuuimm!!
