At noon I went to M. de Voltaire's. He was not to be seenbut Madame Denis consoled me for his absence.

the story was rather a long one I promised to satisfy her another time.
M. de Voltaire did not dine with us; he appearedhoweverat five o'clockholding a letter in his hand.

Fortywho at Bologna are Fifty.

Do you know him?
Nobut he has sent me Goldoni's 'Theatre' the translation of my Tancredand some Bologna sausagesand
he says he will come and see me.
He will not come; he is not such a fool.
How a fool? Would there be anything foolish in coming to see me?
