She would not choose to live in a crowd, but would like to have a small circle of agreeable people she was very precise as to her desires: actually she wants to see eight or nine pleasant folk. Anyhow she has not the slightest intention of taking the chance. It becomes increasingly clear that she had had about enough of this epistolary philandering, and she indicated this in no uncertain manner.

She required that in their epistolary correspondence they should treat each other as equals, under the assumed names of Mrs. Morley and Mrs. Freeman. Lady Churchill chose the latter, which would be, she said, the emblem of her "frank, open temper."
The bishop accommodated himself to the King's epistolary habits. The silver-tongued and ready debater substituted protocols for conversation, in deference to a monarch who could not speak.
