Then, turning on the threshold of the door, he said: "Say everything kind from me to Fosseuse, and do for her as you have promised me. I set off for the chase; perhaps I shall not see you till my return, perhaps never these wolves are wicked beasts. Come, and let me embrace you, ma mie."
But Mie Mie will be there to-morrow. God knows how much further I would go to conduct her safely, but I was made to believe there was no occasion for it. I expected her here on Friday next, or on this day sevennight. Combien de termps faut-il que je sois le jouet des caprices des autres? Mrs. Webb also is not in a good state of health for travelling so far or so fast.
The origin of Selwyn's interest in the child is obscure, but the story of his affection is striking and unusual. From a letter written by the Marchesa Fagniani to Selwyn in 1772 it is evident that Mie Mie, then about a year old, had been with him for some months, and in 1774 Lord Carlisle congratulates him upon the certainty of the child's remaining with him.

It is no solitude, this place. We have got Onslows and Jeffreyes's, Mr. Walpole, &c., &c., and if Mr. Cambridge would permit it, I could be sometimes, as I wish to be, alone. On Monday Mie Mie and I shall go to town for one night. I am to meet Me de Bouflers at Lady Lucan's. I think that if this next winter does not make a perfect Frenchman of me, I shall give it up.
