Finally, Madeleine could begin with the beautiful rose alphabet. At some point, she must have discovered: I do not get any more letters after the "R" on the sampler. But she virtuously finished the ABC and applied her first name at the end of the line, but this time from another alphabet. There is still space left. So she added a tiny alphabet and again "M A D E L E I N E" in another variant.

She proudly finished her sampler with lots of personal data.
