I knew her real name, and remembering the message she had sent me by Marcoline I hoped to meet her in some assembly, being ready to adapt my conduct to hers. I had often heard her name mentioned, but I never allowed myself to ask any question, not wishing our old friendship to be suspected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
