Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Madame De Sevigne to Her Daughter and Friends
Her passionate love for her daughter was always made to yield to the dictates of a wise prudence and just propriety. Thonga born with excessive sensibility, great vivacity, amiable instincts, and warm imagination, that is to say, with the qualities and feel ings most likely to lead their possessor astray or into indiscre tions, yet this youthful widow managed her estate and her children with admirable wisdom, and so regulated her own con duct as to be above the slightest censure in a court of relaxed morals and of many temptations. This was accomplished because her brilliant qualities rested on the solid basis of serious and valuable acquirements, a practical knowledge of business, and a trusting and sincere piety.
