Crebillon's 'Egaremens du Coeur et de l'Esprit is an excellent work in its kind; it will be of infinite amusement to you, and not totally useless. The Japanese history of "Tanzar and Neadarne," by the same author, is an amiable extravagancy, interspersed with the most just reflections.
Having thus confessed some of my 'egaremens', I will now show you a little of my right side. I always endeavored to get into the best company wherever I was, and commonly succeeded. There I pleased to some degree by showing a desire to please.
I took care never to be absent or 'distrait'; but on the contrary, attended to everything that was said, done, or even looked, in company; I never failed in the minutest attentions and was never 'journalier'. These things, and not my 'egaremens', made me fashionable. Adieu! This letter is full long enough. BATH, October 19, O. S. 1748.
She had already had an affair with a Comte, who had lately been dismissed for a handsome young abbe but we do not mind these little egaremens in our country, and I neither had leisure nor inclination to interfere with her arrangements.
I never, therefore, talked to the Duchess about our ancient egaremens. I spoke, this morning, of the marriage of one person, the death of another, and lastly, the departure of my individual self. "When do you go?" she said, eagerly. "In two days: my departure will be softened, if I can execute any commissions in England for Madame." I bowed, changed the conversation, and withdrew.
