Sometimes the moralising becomes tiresome. "Vraiment Miss Edgeworth est digne de l'enthousiasme, mais elle se perd dans votre triste utilite," said Madame de Stael to M.

How happy Lady Wellington must be at this glorious victory. Had you in your paper an account of her running as fast as she could to Lord Bury at Lord Bathurst's when he alighted, to learn the first news of her husband! Vive l'enthousiasme!

With M. de Stael and Madame de Broglie Miss Edgeworth was particularly happy.

"Ma mere n'a jamais dit ca," Madame de Broglie indignantly declared, "elle etait incapable!"
