Having called myself a Parisian, as such, I was under the jurisdiction of his excellency: he therefore asked me who I was?
exhorting me to tell the truth; this I promised to do, but entreated a private audience, which was immediately granted.

The ambassador took me to his closet, and shut the door; there, throwing myself at his feet, I kept my word, nor should I have said less, had I promised nothing, for a continual wish to unbosom myself, puts my heart perpetually upon my lips.

After having disclosed myself without reserve to the musician Lutold, there was no occasion to attempt acting the mysterious with the Marquis de Bonac, who was so well pleased with my little history, and the ingenuousness with which I had related it, that he led me to the ambassadress, and presented me, with an abridgment of my recital.

Madam de Bonac received me kindly, saying, I must not be suffered to follow that Greek monk.

It was accordingly resolved that I should remain at their hotel till something better could be done for me.
