The letters of her lover were still long and frequent; hers were briefer and more subdued. But then there was constraint in the correspondence it was submitted to her mother. Whatever might be Vaudemont's manner to Camilla whenever occasion threw them alone together, he certainly did not make his attentions glaring enough to be remarked.
Beaufort would be delighted to see Monsieur de Vaudemont also and that his compliance with their invitation would be a charity to Monsieur de Vaudemont's faithful and obliged, LILBURNE.
