About This Book

A series of personal sketches and reminiscences records the author’s peripatetic life, early homes, and participation in courtly and continental society, with lively accounts of dance, theatre, and household gatherings. It offers portraits of friendships and a lengthy correspondence with prominent literary and social figures, using anecdotes to reveal wit, tact, and hospitality. The narrative is episodic rather than strictly chronological and omits some expected places and associations. An editor provides introductory context and occasional explanatory notes while preserving the original conversational tone and fragmentary shape.
