I earnestly but vainly repeated the invitation I had several times given her in my letters to come and live peacefully with me, assuring her I would dedicate the rest of my life, and that of Theresa, to render her happy.

Attached to her pension, from which, although it was regularly paid, she had not for a long time received the least advantage, my offers were lost upon her.

I again gave her a trifling part of the contents of my purse, much less than I ought to have done, and considerably less than I should have offered her had not I been certain of its not being of the least service to herself.

During my residence at Geneva, she made a journey into Chablais, and came to see me at Grange-canal.

She was in want of money to continue her journey: what I had in my pocket was insufficient to this purpose, but an hour afterwards I sent it her by Theresa.
