I therefore yielded to their solicitations, and this with but little pain, for the hatred of the people so afflicted my heart that I was no longer able to support it. I had a choice of places to retire to. After Madam de Verdelin returned to Paris, she had, in several letters, mentioned a Mr.
What rendered the women so favorable to me was, their being persuaded that I had written my own history, and was myself the hero of the romance.
