[Marie Antoinette] introduces into the retired apartments of the Little Trianon, "blind man's bluff," ... and other similar games, and joins heartily in the fun and the frolic. "A queen playing blind man's bluff!" Simpletons--and the world is full of simpletons--raised their hands and eyes in affected horror.
John S. C. Abbott, The Life of Marie Antoinette
