Là, il entra en quelques libertés avec elle sur ce qui s'était passé entre nous, chose qu'il ne convient pas qu'une femme écrive, et sur la grande terreur qui pesait sur son esprit pour sa femme, de crainte qu'il eût reçu quelque mal de moi et le communiquât. Il lui demanda enfin si elle ne pouvait lui procurer une occasion de me parler.
