handsome, but has a very intelligent countenance, fine teeth, and is very expressive/ He tells the English guests the story of Madame de Stael's heroism in rescuing... him and others from the guil- lotine in Paris. 'This lady,' he says, 'who was seven months gone with child, was indefatigable in her efforts to save everyone she knew from the dreadful massacres. She walked daily (for car- riages were not then allowed in the streets) to the Hotel de Ville, and was frequently shut up for five hours with the horrible wretches who composed the committee of surveillance by whom these murders were directed ; and, by her eloquence and the consideration demanded by her rank and talents, she obtained the deliverance of above twenty un- fortunate prisoners, some of whom she knew but slightly.' » Madame de Stael is the cynosure of these con- versazioni.
