To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Why am I not there in a modest corner, to share your happiness, though discreet enough not to interfere with it. I should look upon you as though 1 were allowed a sight of Paradise, and I should enjoy your presence, as our pietists assert that we shall one day enjoy the Divine presence. I should be happy by the mere contemplation of it, while carefully avoiding, profane and earthly animal that I am, any undue encroachment." The enthusiastic tone in which Seguier writes to his cousin may seem ...surprising if we do not inform the reader of the events subsequent to the meeting at Bale between Delphine and the handsome officer of Conde's army. The yoimg woman had produced her usual effect. Seguier was dazzled, charmed, heart-stricken and inevitably carried away; nor had he attempted to hide from the lovely traveller the effect that she had produced upon him. Hence from that moment we find him appearing as Mme. de Sabran's most attentive friend and maintaining with her a regular corre- spondence which treats of nothing but Delphine and her irresistible charms.
