Philip of Orleans, the king's See also:brother. Henrietta joined the court at See also:Fontainebleau, and was soon on the friendliest terms with her brother-in-law, so friendly indeed that there was some See also:scandal, to avoid which it was determined that Louis should pay marked attentions elsewhere. The See also:person selected was Madame's maid of honour, Louise. She had been only two months in Fontainebleau before she became the king's mistress. The affair, begun on Louis's See also:part as a See also:blind, immediately See also:developed into real See also:passion on both sides. It was Louis's first serious See also:attachment, and Louise was an See also:innocent, religious-minded girl, who brought
usually darker and denser than lavas of See also:acid type, and when fused they tend to flow to See also:great distances, and may thus See also:form far-spreading sheets, whilst the acid lavas, being more viscous, rapidly consolidate after extrusion. The See also:lava is emitted from the volcanic vent at a high temperature, but on exposure to the See also:air it rapidly consolidates superficially, forming a crust which in many cases is soon broken up by the continued flow of the subjacent liquid lava, so that the See also:surface becomes rugged with clinkers. J. D. See also:Dana introduced the See also:term " as " for this rough See also:kind of lava-stream, whilst he applied the term " pahoehoe " to those flows which have a smooth surface, or are simply wrinkled and See also:ropy; these terms being used in this sense in See also:Hawaii, in relation to the See also:local lavas. The different kinds of lava are more fully described in the See also:article See also:VOLCANO.
