Excerpt from John Law, Vol. 2: The Projector
Mademoiselle de Valois was not a model of beauty, like her sisters, her nose being too large, and a projecting tooth interfering with the form of her mouth. But she was well proportioned, had dove-like eyes, blue tresses like threads of gold, and the ravishingly white skin generally found to accompany locks of that hue. In at tendance upon this princess was the handsome and dissolute Due de Richelieu, so celebrated for his successes, and who at that time was greatly smitten by her attractions.
