Hi Barbara,

Section 34 is PL OK.

Madame de la Tour du Pin to the rescue!

My best,

Hi Barbara,

Section is 35 is PL OK.

That section with Talleyrand talking about Napoleon’s downfall was stupendous. Your French was crystal clear; I could understand every word!

And the last time we hear her own voice. Yet, from my researches, I gather that our heroine (typically) attended the ball on the Eve of Waterloo - "There was a sound of revelry by night"[Byron] - and visited the field after the battle. I think. Anyway, in the words of Fanny Burney (who liked her), Lucie was "munificent in her attentions to the French wounded".

Hoping that all is quiet in the San Fernando Valley,

Thanks for once again being such a supportive DPL Pam. I'm pleased that we'll soon be back in the eighteenth century, chez Mrs Piozzi.

Best,

Barbara
