Leander setting a greater value upon his Education, Manners and good Nature than his Fortune, was oblig'd to desist in his Pretensions and to sink under the oppression of Avarice: He determin'd to leave Ferara, since he was there to see his Happiness, no more, however, he resolv'd to send his Fair One, a moving Billet Doux before his Departure, which he did, and it was as follows.
Bonner resided in one of the handsomest houses in Cherryvale, and was himself the handsomest boy in the crowd. Besides, he had more than once looked at Missy with soft eyes the girls "teased" Missy about Raymond. It was fitting that Raymond should receive the first billet doux.

They saw how his imprisonment on the rock "Ma fé, think of it! all through that storm, too!" had told upon him. His cheeks were hollow, and his eyes sunken, and he looked very weary "and, man doux, no wonder, after eighteen days on L'Etat!" though their friendly shouts had put a touch of colour in his face and a spark in his eyes for the moment. "Now, away home, all of you!" ordered the Sénéchal.
She dazzled them by her personal beauty perhaps more than by her wit; for even mediaeval priests could admire an expansive brow, a deep blue eye, doux et penétrant, a mouth varying with unconscious sarcasms, teeth strong and regular, a neck long and flexible, and shoulders sloping and gracefully moulded, over which fell ample and golden locks; while the attitude, the complexion, the blush, the thrilling accent, and the gracious smile, languor, and passion depicted on a face both pale and animated, seduced the imagination and commanded homage.

However, he spelled through the motto with some difficulty: "Comme elle fait soumettre un coeur, En refusant son doux hommage, On peut traiter la coquette en vainqueur; De la beauty modeste on cherit l'esclavage."
