I prefer to escape. I will justify myself later. Her dear friend the Marquises d'Alluye went with her.


Well, I guess you said no one got executed, but quite frankly I cannot blame her! There is something natural and noble in this behavior. As far as I am concerned, I approve of it. It's said that the things she is accused of are nothing but idiocies, which she has told a hundred times, as one does if one comes from these sorceresses or however they call themselves. Yeah, I'm with you, Madame de Sevigné!

Separate, because the one naming the mother of seven of his children sure as hell won't be published.

Oof!

From Marguerite Voisin's interrogation protocol

I appreciate that you bring up in the previous comment the context that if she confesses to a bunch of stuff, then they won't execute her. Because otherwise I would have thought I should have taken Marguerite's confession much more seriously.

Anyway, this was fascinating as always, thank you!
