On lit dans le Journal de Barbier (janvier 1722) : « Le duc de Chartres a dix-neuf ans, et a déjà eu plusieurs galanteries. Il a maintenant une maîtresse en forme, la petite Quinault. Ce prince n'est point aimé; il a l'esprit petit et mauvais. » Et plus loin, l'auteur rapporte que le Régent disait de son fils : « 11 a aussi peu d'esprit que M. le Duc, il est aussi brutal que le comte de Charolais, et aussi fou que le prince de Conti. » --Correspondance de Madame duchesse d'Orléans. Extraite des lettres publiées par M. de Ranke et M. Holland Traduction et notes par Ernest Jaeglé" |
