Judgment and prudence were not the qualities most naturally to be
expected in a young princess not yet fifteen years old. The best
prospect which Marie Antoinette had of surmounting the numerous and
varied difficulties which beset her lay in the affection which she
speedily conceived for her husband, and in the sincerity, we can
hardly say warmth, with which he returned her love. Maria Teresa
had bespoken his tenderness for her in a letter which she wrote to
him on the day on which her daughter left Vienna, and which has
often been quoted as a composition worthy of her alike as a mother
and as a Christian sovereign.
