CHAPTER VII
158/192

I am not a Bonapartist indeed.

But I am a Democrat and singularly (in these days) consequent about universal suffrage.

Also, facts in England have been much mis-stated; but there's no room for politics to-day.
When I thank you, remember that my husband thanks you.

We both hope to see you before this month shall be quite at an end, and then you will know me better, I hope; and though I shall lose a great deal by your knowing me, of course, yet you won't, _after that_, make such mistakes as you 'confess' in this note which I have just read over again.

Did I think you 'sentimental'?
Won't you rather think _me_ sentimental to-day?
Through it all, Your affectionate ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING.
* * * * * _To Mrs.Martin_ [Paris], 138 Avenue des Champs-Elysees: June 16, [1852].
My first word must be to thank you, my dearest kind friend, for your affectionate words to me and mine, which always, from you, sink deeply.
It was, on my part, great gratification to see you and talk to you and hear you talk, and, above all, perhaps, to feel that you loved me still a little.
