I walked part of the way home with the calumniated one. How charming she
is. Dear little lady, it would be difficult not to love her. She talked
delightfully about German and English poetry. Do you think one can talk
delightfully about German and English poetry and yet be a sinner? Tell

intellectual, could yet be a sinner? Would not her wits save her? Would
not her bright wits save her from anything so dull as sin?
