"I feel grateful to him, and always shall, because he left me in the lurch that day when the water came in.
There remained to him of all his successes in gallantry, a habit of looking at himself in mirrors, of buttoning his coat to define his waist, and of posing in various dancing attitudes; all of which prolonged, beyond the period of enjoying his advantages, the sort of lease that he held on his cognomen, "that handsome Thuillier." The truth of 1806 has, however, become a fable, in 1826.
