It was a strange government. To-day Dubarry, who hated Choiseul much more than she hated the devil, would be in the ascendant over Louis the Voluptuous. To-morrow Choiseul would have the long ear of the King, who was, in fact, only the table on which these two gamblers played with loaded dice for the realm of France. Behind the two gamblers stood their backers. Behind Choiseul, when he was winning, nearly the whole Court of Versailles.
