We had a visit from the English court today. They're so.. blasé.
No offence to those of you who are English, but George the Second, and his wife, Caroline aren't exactly the most entertaining people on the planet. Maria Leszczyńsk was in seclusion, a few weeks from giving birth, which left me to entertain them, what with being the King's official Mistress. It was an odd day, and I found Caroline to be tedious, though I did try to be polite and entertaining as best I could.

About Me
- Madame de Pompadour
- Not as tall as the average, alert, nimble, slender, elegant, she seems to embody “the hint between the last rank of elegance and the first of aristocracy”. Her face and figure matched perfectly, the face a perfect oval, with nice and clear hair; wide eyes with pretty eyebrows of the same colour; a fine nose, a lovely mouth, beautiful teeth with the prettiest smile; a perfect and bright skin that gave splendour to her features. Her eyes had a special charm due maybe to their undefined colour; they didn’t have the brightness of black eyes, neither the tender weakness of blue eyes nor the exquisiteness of grey eyes; that undefined colour made them very seductive and capable at showing any feeling of a lively soul.
