She invited me to visit her at the Hotel de Luxembourg, where she was staying.

I often called on her, for her intrigues amused me, but I was wise enough not to meddle with them.
She remained in Paris four months, and contrived to infatuate M.Ranchi, secretary of the Venetian Embassy, an amiable and learned man.

He was so deeply in love that he had made up his mind to marry her; but through a caprice which she, perhaps, regretted afterwards, she ill-treated him, and the fool died of grief.

Count de Canes, ambassador of Maria Theresa, had some inclination for her, as well as the Count of Zinzendorf.

The person who arranged these transient and short-lived intrigues was a certain Guasco, an abbe not over-favoured with the gifts of Plutus.
