The Ambassadors

BOOK Fifth
8/85

Above all always some awfully nice women--and not too many; sometimes an actress, an artist, a great performer--but only when they're not monsters; and in particular the right femmes du monde.

You can fancy his history on that side--I believe it's fabulous: they NEVER give him up.

Yet he keeps them down: no one knows how he manages; it's too beautiful and bland.
Never too many--and a mighty good thing too; just a perfect choice.

But there are not in any way many bores; it has always been so; he has some secret.

It's extraordinary.
