So serious a letter might be tedious without being long, but it is saddened also by the weary weight of my own spirits. Will you kindly give me news of your health and of your return to town? I am sorry that Paris does not interest me; I am going to Fontainebleau at the end of the week. Mademoiselle Luci replies with dignity. 'October 22, 1751.
He excommunicates the Bishop of Salisbury, and John of Oxford, and the Archdeacon of Ilchester, and the Lord Chief-Justice de Luci, and everybody who adhered to the Constitutions of Clarendon. The bishops of England remonstrate with him, and remind him of his plebeian origin and his obligations to the King.
It was confiscated as 'of British manufacture. Again, on May 18, Charles wrote to Mademoiselle Luci, in Paris. She is requested 'de faire avoire une ouvrage de Mr. He asks, too, for a razor-case with four razors, a shaving mirror, and a strong pocket-book with a lock. Business of a graver kind is in view. Newton asked for a delay, on account of family affairs.
At the same time he was no orator, and Cicero implies that better men often used his compositions through mere laziness, and allowed them to pass as their own. Cicero mentions in more than one place that he himself had been an admiring pupil of Aelius. And Lucilius addressed some of his satires to him, probably those on grammar, "Has res ad te scriptas Luci misimus Aeli;"
On October 20 he writes to Mademoiselle Luci, styling himself 'Mademoiselle Chevalier, and calling Madame de Talmond 'Madame Le Nord. The Princesse de Talmond has left him, is threatening him, and may ruin him. 'Le October 20, 1750. 'A Mll. Luci: Mademoiselle Chevalier est tres affligee de voir le peu d'egard que Madame Lenord a pour ses Interest. Md.
On November 7 Charles writes again to Mademoiselle Luci: the Princesse de Talmond is here la vieille tante: now estranged and perhaps hostile. Madame de la Bruere is probably the wife of M. de la Bruere, whom Montesquieu speaks highly of when, in 1749, he was Charge d'Affaires in Rome. 'Le 7 Nov. 1750. 'Mdlle.
His deeper seclusion continues. Madame de Talmond, in the following letter, is as before, la tante. The 'merchandise' is letters for the Prince, which have reached Mademoiselle Luci, and which she is to return to Waters, the banker. 'Le 16 Nov. 1750. 'A Mdll. Je vous embrasse de tout mon Coeur.

By November 19, Charles is indignant even with Mademoiselle Luci, who has rather tactlessly shown the letter of November 7 to Madame de Talmond, la tante, la vieille Femme. Oh, the unworthy Prince! Charles's epistle follows: 19th Nov. 'Je suis tres surprise, Mademoiselle, de votre Lettre du 15, par Laquelle vous dites avoire montres a la tante une Lettre touchant les Affaires de Mdlle.
'Adieu Mdlle., n'attendez plus de mes nouvelles jusqu'a ce que le paiement soit fait. Soiez Toujours assuree de ma sincere amitie. Charles's whole career, alas! after 1748, was a set of quarrels with his most faithful adherents. This break with his old mistress, Madame de Talmond, is only one of a fatal series. With Mademoiselle Luci he never broke: we shall see the reason for this constancy.
