LETTER I: Cecile de Volanges to Sophie Carnay at the Ursuline Convent of ----- You see my dear Sophie I am keeping my word. Frills and furbelows do not take up all my time; there will always be some left over for you. Nonetheless, I have seen more frippery in the course of this one day than I did in all the four years we spent together; and I think our fine Tanville is going to be more mortified by my next visit to the convent (when I shall certainly ask to see her) than she could ever have hoped we were by all those visits of hers to us en grande tenue. - Dangerous Liaisons (pt. 1), (P.W.K. Stone translation) [Books (First Lines)]
