There were a lot of people there, and we formed a circle. It was the moment when the King, having received the ambassadors, went to his prie-dieu, to then go to his cabinet. I went out for a moment, and saw the man die; I came back very moved. The King had gone to his cabinet; I entered, and nothing surprised me more than to hear the King call M. d'Argenson and say to him: "D'Argenson, M. du Chayla has just taken off his "wig", and recounted the fact as if he had been there. » Luynes adds that Chayla died of a “chest abscess”.
