Lady Mary Wortley Montague

CHAPTER XIII
37/48

I have wrote to him this day, that on his answer I will immediately set out to Valence, and shall be glad to see him there.

I suppose you are now convinced I have never been mistaken in his character; which remains unchanged, and what is yet worse, I think is unchangeable.

I never saw such a complication of folly and falsity as in his letter to Mr.Gibson.
Nothing is cheaper than living in an inn in a country town in France; they being obliged to ask no more than twenty-five sous for dinner, and thirty for supper and lodging, of those that eat at the public table; which all the young men of quality I have met have always done.

It is true I am forced to pay double, because I think the decency of my sex confines me to eat in my chamber.

I will not trouble you with detecting a number of other falsehoods that are in his letters.
