Prince de Cadignan, and assisted by her relatives, Mesdames d’Uxelles and de Navarreins, Diane operated as it were a kind of retreat, occupied herself with her son Georges, and strengthening herself by the memory of Chrestien, also by constantly visiting Madame d’Espard, she succeeded, without completely foregoing society, in making captive the celebrated deputy of the Right, a man of wealth and maturity, Daniel Arthez himself.  In her own home and in that of Felicite des Touches she heard, between 1832 and 1835, anecdotes of Marsay.  The Princess de Cadignan had portraits of her numerous lovers.  She had also one of the Madame whom she had attended, and upon meeting him, showed it to Marsay, minister of Louis Philippe.  She owned also a picture of Charles X. which was thus inscribed, “Given by the King.”  After the marriage of her son to a Cinq-Cygne, she visited often at the estate of that name, and was there in 1839, during the regular election.

MAULINCOUR[*] (Baronne de), born Rieux, an eighteenth century woman who “did not lose her head” during the Revolution; intimate friend of the Vidame de Pamiers.  At the beginning of the Restoration she spent half of her time in the suburbs of Saint-Germain, where she managed to educate her grandson, Auguste Carbonnon de Maulincour, and the remainder on her estates at Bordeaux, where she demanded the hand of Natalie Evangelista in marriage for her grand-nephew, Paul de Manerville.  Of the family of this girl she had an unfavorable, but just opinion.  The Baronne de Maulincour died a short time before her grandson of the chagrin which she felt on account of this young man’s unhappy experiences.
