Excerpt from Memoirs of the Duc De Saint-Simon on the Times of Louis XIV, and the Regency, Vol. 4 of 4 The king's death overtook the indolence of the Due d'orléans as if it were unexpected; he was still precisely The Duc Where, as we have seen, I left him. He had fhnfre' made no progress in any of the resolutions king's death he ought to have taken, either on matters of business or in the choice of persons. He was now over whelmed with orders to give and matters to regulate; each more petty or more commonplace than the others, but all so immediately necessary that the very case I had predicted to him happened, - he had no time to think of anything important.
