Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School for Husbands, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, Moliere's Life and Times Amounted to a perfect delirium, as the royal cor te'ge defiled from the Louvre. It was lucky that the streets were strewed knee-deep with flowers; for the people, not content with waving their caps and handkerchiefs, and making one deafening shout of the myriad echoes of vrvn LE roi - for the most part knelt down to bless him as he passed - and certainly, their semi-adoration seemed, in some degree, justified by the appear ance of their idol. All that Louis Quatorze had ever wanted to make his beauty indisputable, was a certain delicacy - and this, his illness had now given to his really handsome face - the dress he wore was also peculiarly becoming; as it was that sort of half armour, worn by great military com manders at the time, consisting of a mailed and jewelled steel corselet, over a rich grenat velvet tunic, and a falling collar of magnificent point d'alencon, the cords and tassels of which, were of small strung pearls, rubies, and brilliants the studdings of the corselet or cuimsse, were also of brilliants and sapphires, as well as the aiguilettes, while a large diamond sun blazed in the centre of B 2.
