On reaching my carriage I mounted ; M. de Genlis came after Rousseau to let him pass first, but the latter, turning rounds told him he should not return with us; M. de Genlis and I protested against this; but Rousseau, MADAME DE GENLIS. 2^2o trithout replying a word, made his bow, turned his back, and disappeared. The next day M. de Sauvigny was commissioned to ques- tion him about this freak, but was strangely surprised at his asserting, with eyes sparkling with rage, that he would never see m...e as long as he lived, for that I had taken him to the play to show him off in the way that Wild beasts are exhibit- ed at the fair.* M. de Sauvigny answered, that from what he had heard me say the evening before, I had been desirous of putting the grate down.' Rousseau maintained that I had made a very feeble effort, and that at any rate, my splendid dress and the choice of the box were proofs sufficient that I never had the intention of concealing myself. It was use- less to tell him that my dress was nowise remarkable, and that a borrowed box could not be one of choice: — nothing could bend him.
