A studious intimacy with such a lady was rather like the exposure of the silver moon to the astronomer's telescope.
But if indeed you are unhappy and would like to chide the innocent, I am full of compassion for the poor gentleman inheriting my legitimate feelings of wrath, and beg merely that he will not pour them out on me with pen and paper, but from his lips and eyes. 'Time pressing, I chatter no more. The destination is Livia's beloved Baden.
