I excused myself by saying that Madame was at Bale and that I should be obliged to go on my journey the next day. At this he exclaimed loudly, aroused the whole company against me, and said at last that he should consider my visit as an insult unless I spared him a week at least of my society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
