mœurs, behavior, conduct, Cp. Latin mares

4. Céladon, an affected lover in Urfé*s novel, Astrée^ which exercîsed a great influence on the social life of Racine's day. It was in great measure the immédiate source of the Ëuphuistic diction that is made the subject of Mohère*s satire in les Précieuses ridicules. Euphuism reached its highest development in the novels of Madeleine de Scudéry, but is by no means absent from Androniaquct as thèse notes will show. The French call those who cultivated this affected diction Précieux.

5. parfait amour, ironical use of a favorite expression in the current novels of Racine's day.
