that he would rather meet death than part from her irresistible charms;
and her irresistible charms protested that he should never see them

However, he was allowed to flatter himself, that these positive orders,
how harsh soever they might appear, did not flow from indifference;
that she would always be more pleased with his return than with his
departure, for which she was now so urgent; and having generously given
him assurances that, so far as depended upon herself, he would find,
upon his return, no variation in her sentiments during his absence, he
took leave of his friends, thinking of nothing but his return, at the

BACK TO ENGLAND--VARIOUS LOVE INTRIGUES AT THIS COURT, AND MARRIAGE OF
MOST OF THE HEROES OF THESE MEMOIRS


The nearer the Chevalier de Grammont approached the court of France, the
more did he regret his absence from that of England.

A thousand different thoughts occupied his mind upon the journey:
Sometimes he reflected upon the joy and satisfaction his friends
and relations would experience upon his return; sometimes upon the
congratulations and embraces of those who, being neither the one nor the
other, would, nevertheless, overwhelm him with impertinent compliments:
All these ideas passed quickly through his head; for a man deeply in
love makes it a scruple of conscience not to suffer any other thoughts
to dwell upon his mind than those of the object beloved. It was then
the tender, endearing remembrance of what he had left in London that
diverted his thoughts from Paris; and it was the torments of absence
that prevented his feeling those of the bad roads and the bad horses.
His heart protested to Miss Hamilton, between Montreuil and Abbeville
that he only tore himself from her with such haste, to return the
sooner; after which, by a short reflection, comparing the regret he had
formerly felt upon the same road, in quitting France for England, with
that which he now experienced, in quitting England for France
abuse it. In vain did he protest 
 that he would rather meet death than character from her irresistible charm; 
 and her irresistible charms protested that he should never see them 
 more, unless he deviate immediately. Thus was he forced to obey. 
 However, he was leave to flatter himself, that these positive orders, 
 how coarse soever they might look, did not flow from indifference; 
 that she would constantly be more pleased with his return than with his 
 departure, for which she was now therefore urgent; and having generously given 
 him assurances that, so far as depend upon herself, he would find, 
 upon his return, no variation in her opinion during his absence, he 
 took leave of his friends, thinking of nothing but his tax return, at the 
 very time he was making preparations for his departure.
