It was kind for Madame la Dauphine to host such events. Some of the esteemed guest, included her brother in law, Le Comte de Provence, and later, her other brother in law, La Comte d'Artois. I was fotunate to be abble to attend, and enjoyed it very much. I must say, my luck at Billards is not so good, but I had the luck of winning three hands of cards straight..perhaps I ought to gamble a little. Speaking of Gambling, leaving to His Royal Highness, M. de Provence, to wager sums of 10,000-12,000 sous in a single game...that wasn't the only time that evening such sums were wagered. Those who attends these games, might leave saying "sans le sou"...thankfully it wasn't me!
