	Françoise-Athénaïs, marquise de Montespan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was associated with the Affair of the Poisons, although she was never conclusively implicated Nicholas de La Reynie, Paris's first Lieutenant General of Police and the chief judge of the court before which the famous poisoning cases were brought, heard testimony that placed her first visits to Catherine Monvoisin ("La Voisin") in 1665.
		She was alleged to have received from the sorceress love powders concocted of abominable ingredients for Louis XIV, and in 1666 the "fl mass" was alledged to have been said by the priest Etienne Guibourg over her with the usual horrible ceremonial.
		Meanwhile suspicion was thrown on Mme de Montespan's connection with La Voisin and her crew by the frequent mention of the name of her maid, Mlle Desoeillets, in the evidence brought before the Chambre Ardente.

		La Martinière, who was with her mistress, fell back fainting in the carriage with a shriek of terror, as soon as she saw the young man. In vain Mademoiselle de Scudéri pulled the string, and called out to the driver.

		HOUMA, La. -- Ernie Voisin, a sixth-generation Louisiana oysterman, is one of those incurable tinkerers who was vexed by something that had stumped oystermen for decades: how to devise a mechanical process for shucking raw oysters.
		What Voisin and Kilgen did not anticipate was that the procedure also left the oyster perfectly shucked and intact, ready to be scooped or shaken out of its shell and eaten whole.
		Voisin patented the high-pressure shucking process he stumbled upon, and a handful of larger oyster producers have adopted it.

		La Voisin bowed gratefully, and replied, with the gallantry of a Frenchman, 'Our cottage may be envied, sir, since you and Mademoiselle have honoured it with your presence.' St. Aubert gave him a friendly smile for his compliment, and sat down to a table, spread with cream, fruit, new cheese, butter, and coffee.
		St. Aubert's cries brought La Voisin and his daughter to the room, and they administered every means in their power to restore her, but, for a considerable time, without effect.
		Emily was led from the chamber by La Voisin and his daughter, who did what they could to comfort her.

		DEPUTY VOISIN: Yes, well, we do have States’ approval to ensure that we have a legislature and a criminal system that functions properly, so you can’t have a situation where the police are finding criminals and we don’t have the funds to deal with them in the courts.
		DEPUTY VOISIN: But surely, a direct decision, when you are talking about a direct decision, you are talking about a specific decision, in other words, a specific decision relating to the funding of an agri-environment scheme.

		The breakfast was almost as silent as the supper of the preceding night; but their musing was at length interrupted by the sound of the carriage wheels, which were to bear away St. Aubert and Emily.

	Observer \| Spells and belles
		When Somerset says that La Voisin, previously glib in invocations of the Good Lord, 'however' spurned the ministrations of her confessor when about to be burnt alive, she seems deaf to her own narrative: there is no antithesis here.
		Magic shaded into science: arresting the likes of La Voisin uncovered connections between gentlemen alchemists who had assistants who had girlfriends whose friends were sorceresses: that is, people for whom the same pharmacopoeia might carry different significances, an issue which Somerset does not pursue.
		Somerset weakens the interest of her book by offering no analysis of the reasons why the king allied with La Reynie against his aristocracy, or of the possible role of hysteria and the nightmares of witchcraft to which the crème de la crème were no more immune than anyone else.

		The first satanic cult which possibly existed was operated by Catherine La Voisin at the Court of the French monarch Louis XIV.
		La Reynie's police effectively destroyed the cult, but the emerging press made the incident infamous for decades in Europe and copycat imitations surfaced during the 18th century and during the French Revolution.
		It is in the climate created by the countless printed accounts of the first proto-satanic cult operated by Madame La Voisin at the Court of Louis XIV that the most quoted book on vampires in the 18th century reached Western Europe.

		Because the entremès called El retablo de las maravillas is essentially a farce, the grotesque comparison is morally acceptable: in such a context no one is likely to make a serious comparison between the betrayal of God and the betrayal on a minor scale —an “embuste”— of a village of stupid peasants.

		He is a free spirit who has little time for court life and he sees his friends getting into trouble with La Reynie’s police (for this is the time of La Voisin and La Brinvilliers) while he just likes the quiet life.
		The vanities of court life are contrasted well with the earthiness of gardening and La Quintinie with his sensible ideas and lack of time for fopperies and fashions is sure to appeal to modern readers.
