"Madame de Noailles abounded in virtues. Her piety, charity, and irreproachable morals rendered her worthy of praise; but etiquette was to her a sort of atmosphere; at the slightest derangement of the consecrated order, one would have thought the principles of life would forsake her frame."
--Madame Campan on the comtesse de Noailles, Marie Antoinette's first dame d'honneur
