Caligula cared for nobody in the world but himself and Drusilla. Only himself actually, because Drusilla was an extension of himself, the female half of him, the other side of his coin. They even looked alike, with their golden hair and their wide blue eyes. - Gore Vidal’s Caligula (for @ducavalentinos)

He was growing closer to [his children], especially Louis-Auguste, who quickly became his favourite. He was struck by how tenderly Mme Scarron cared for them, as though she had been their loving mother. Gradually, he began to see her in a new light, and his initial aversion turned to admiration. “She knows well how to love,” he said; “it would be a pleasure to be loved by her.” - Louis XIV: The Real King of Versailles, Josephine Wilkinson

The doll of Madame Scarron executed by RB Creation for me! She’s absolutely gorgeous. The character of Françoise d’Aubigné is interpreted by the actress Dominique Blanc in the movie The King’s Way.
