The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
69
"As
a
rule
he
said
very
little
to
me
about
these
subjects,
as
he
knew
I
did
not
approve
of
them,
and
on
this
occasion
I
did
not
fail
to
scold
him,
and
to
point
out
the
folly
of
being
amused
by
such
things,
especially
at
a
time
when
his
attention
should
be
occupied
with
more
serious
matters.
'Oh,
but
I
have
only
told
you
half,'
he
replied;
'that
was
just
the
beginning,'
and
then
he
went
on
to
say
that,
encouraged
by
the
exactitude
of
the
little
girl's
description
of
Madame
de
Nancre's
room,
he
resolved
to
put
to
her
a
more
important
question,
namely,
as
to
the
scene
that
would
occur
at
the
death
of
the
king.
The
child
had
never
seen
any
one
who
was
about
the
court,
and
had
never
even
heard
of
Versailles,
but
she
described
exactly
and
at
great
length
the
king's
bedroom
at
Versailles
and
all
the
furniture
which
was
in
fact
there
at
the
date
of
his
death.
She
gave
every
detail
as
to
the
bed,
and
cried
out
on
recognising,
in
the
arms
of
Madame
de
Ventadour,
a
little
child
decorated
with
an
order
whom
she
had
seen
at
the
house
of
Mademoiselle
la
Sery;
and
again
at
the
sight
of
M.
le
duc
d'Orleans.
