I See No Point In Reading.

Why Are You Weeping ? Did You Imagine That I Was Immortal ?

Up To This Moment I Have Been Pleased To Entrust The Government Of My Affairs To The Late Cardinal. It Is Now Time That I Govern Them Myself. You [secretaries And Ministers Of State] Will Assist Me With Your Counsels When I Ask For Them. I Request And Order You To Seal No Orders Except By My Command, . . . I Order You Not To Sign Anything, Not Even A Passport . . . Without My Command; To Render Account To Me Personally Each Day And To Favor No One.

Ah, If I Were Not King, I Should Lose My Temper.

Every Time I Appoint Someone To A Vacant Position, I Make A Hundred Unhappy And One Ungrateful.

First Feelings Are Always The Most Natural.
