had passed between the Aunt & niece I told him also
of my having persuaded he would consider attribute her not t
want of courage to confess the whole to her aunt to the
same motive as had made her refrain from opening
herself on the subject before. Of this note I had
not time to take a copy. It was much to the above
purport and the remaining part was nearly as follows.
" je vous ai predit, Mr le Marshal, qu en pasant dimanche sans"
"consulter votre Niece je perdroir de son estime. J'avoir"
"raison. Elle vient de une faire les reproches les plus"
"dures la depuis — —Oui cert Je l'ai trabi, c'est"
vrai. Mais c'est a ses Parents c'est a son roule"
"c'est a vous, mon que je l'ai "
You may judge from this sample that this note was
not written in a very calm moment.
I sent note & letter together by my servant with directions
to give it into the Marshal's own hands if possible but
not till he saw all the company was gone. The man
was detained till the letters were read and brought back
for answer that the Marshal was obliged to go to Zerska
Zills very early the next morning but that he would
be back again by 6 o'clock in the afternoon and
begged that I would call on him at that time.
The next morning I found my young Countess at her window
which we both at that moment seemed to regret was inaccessible on
