<p>Find Alcohol Rehab Listings<br /> I paid her a visit, and she began b=
y reproaching me tenderly for not coming to see her more often. She said th=
at as I had refused her hand she would not run the risk of incurring censur=
e or slander of any kind. "I thank you from my heart," she added,=
"for all the kindness you have shewn my girls, and I am going to take=
the three I have left away, lest I lose them as I have lost the two eldest=
If you like, you may come too and stay with us as long as you like in my =
pretty country house near the capital." Of course I had to thank her a=
nd reply that my engagements did not allow me to accept her kind offer. Thr=
ee days after, Victoire told me, as I was getting up, that they were going =
on board ship at three o'clock. Hippolyta and Gabrielle made me come for a =
ride, according to a promise I had given them the night before. The poor th=
ings amused themselves, while I grieved bitterly, as was my habit when I ha=
d to separate from anyone that I loved. When we came home I lay down on my =
bed, not taking any dinner, and seeing nothing of the three sisters till th=
ey had made everything ready for the journey. I got up directly before they=
left, so as not to see the mother in my own room, and I saw her in hers ju=
st as she was about to be taken down into my carriage, which was in readine=
ss at the door. The impudent creature expected me to give her some money fo=
r the journey, but perceiving that I was not likely to bleed, she observed,=
with involuntary sincerity, that her purse contained the sum of a hundred =
and fifty guineas, which I had given to her daughters; and these daughters =
of hers were present, and sobbed bitterly. When they were gone I closed my =
doors to everyone, and spent three days in the melancholy occupation of mak=
ing up my accounts. In the month I had spent with the Hanoverians I had dis=
sipated the whole of the sum resulting from the sale of the precious stones=
, and I found that I was in debt to the amount of four hundred guineas. I r=
esolved to go to Lisbon by sea, and sold my diamond cross, six or seven gol=
d snuff-boxes (after removing the portraits), all my watches except one, an=
d two great trunks full of clothes. I then discharged my debts and found I =
was eighty guineas to the good, this being what remained of the fine fortun=
e I had squandered away like a fool or a philosopher, or, perhaps, a little=
like both. I left my fine house where I had lived so pleasantly, and took =
a little room at a guinea a week. I still kept my negro, as I had every rea=
son to believe him to be a faithful servant. After taking these measures I =
wrote to M. de Bragadin, begging him to send me two hundred sequins. Thus h=
aving made up my mind to leave London without owing a penny to anyone, and =
under obligations to no man's purse, I waited for the bill of exchange from=
Venice. When it came I resolved to bid farewell to all my friends and to t=
ry my fortune in Lisbon, but such was not the fate which the fickle goddess=
had assigned to me. A fortnight after the departure of the Hanoverians (it=
was the end of February in the year 1764), my evil genius made me go to th=
e "Canon Tavern," where I usually dined in a room by myself. The =
table was laid and I was just going to sit down, when Baron Stenau came in =
and begged me to have my dinner brought into the next room, where he and hi=
s mistress were dining. "I thank you," said I, "for the soli=
tary man grows weary of his company." I saw the English woman I had me=
t at Sartori's, the same to whom the baron had been so generous. She spoke =
Italian, and was attractive in many ways, so I was well pleased to find mys=
elf opposite to her, and we had a pleasant dinner. After a fortnight's abst=
inence it was not surprising that she inspired me with desires, but I conce=
aled them nevertheless, for her lover seemed to respect her. I only allowed=
myself to tell the baron that I thought him the happiest of men. Towards t=
he close of the dinner the girl noticed three dice on the mantel and took t=
hem up, saying,-- "Let us have a wager of a guinea, and spend it on oy=
sters and champagne." We could not refuse, and the baron having lost c=
alled the waiter and gave him his orders. While we were eating the oysters =
she suggested that we should throw again to see which should pay for the di=
nner. We did so and she lost. I did not like my luck, and wishing to lose a=
couple of guineas I offered to throw against the baron. He accepted, and t=
o my annoyance I won. He asked for his revenge and lost again. "I don'=
t want to win your money," said I, "and I will give you your reve=
nge up to a hundred guineas." He seemed grateful and we went on playin=
g, and in less than half an hour he owed me a hundred guineas. "Let us=
go on," said he. "My dear baron, the luck's against you; you mig=
ht lose a large sum of money. I really think we have had enough." With=
out heeding my politeness, he swore against fortune and against the favour =
I seemed to be shewing him. Finally he got up, and taking his hat and cane,=
went out, saying,-- "I will pay you when I come back." As soon a=
s he had gone the girl said: "I am sure you have been regarding me as =
your partner at play." "If you have guessed that, you will also h=
ave guessed that I think you charming." "Yes, I think I have.&quo=
t; "Are you angry with me?" "Not in the least." "Y=
ou shall have the fifty guineas as soon as he has paid me." "Very=
good, but the baron must know nothing about it." "Of course not.=
" The bargain was scarcely struck before I began to shew her how much =
I loved her. I had every reason to congratulate myself on her complaisance,=
and I thought this meeting a welcome gleam of light when all looked dark a=
round me. We had to make haste, however, as the door was only shut with a c=
atch. I had barely time to ascertain her address and the hour at which she =
could see me, and whether I should have to be careful with her lover. She r=
eplied that the baron's fidelity was not of a character to make him very ex=
acting. I</p>=20
