I love Gaston d‘Orléans trying to reconcile Mazarin and Condé at dinner and it goes as follows: „Condé remained sarcastic and Mazarin melancholic.“ lol what an evening that must have been 🤣

I can see him be a sarcastic little shit! 🫶🏻

Gaston d‘Orléans watching one of d‘Aubignac‘s theatrical pieces and saying something along the lines of „How good of him to have followed the rules of Aristoteles, but I shall never forgive them for having inspired such a horrendous tragedy to d‘Aubignac.“
