Long Hair Chinese Bang

LETTER CV: The Marquise de Merteuil LA Cecil Volanges

what is it you, my friend, very angry and embarrassed! Is not it true that Mr. Valmont is a wicked man? What! Value to treat you like a woman I loved very much! And teaches that such gains had to know! Indeed this behavior is inexcusable. And you, meanwhile, wants to be cautious with his mistress (not abuse its discretion); you just love looking at the penalties, not pleasure. Nothing better, and you will be worthy to appear like a charm in a novel. Passion, alas, and Under particular, what things so beautiful! In the midst of this brilliant procession annoying one, certainly, sometimes, but also takes it out.

You see how the poor girl is worthy of compassion! Was the next morning so downcast eyes! What would you say if this happened in front of your lover? Well, my beautiful angel, that this does not happen always so: for all men are not as Valmont. And not daring to raise there eyes! Oh! the truth that you had reason, all of them had read his adventure. Believe me, however, if this were so, many women and even many young ladies would look more modestly.

Despite the praise that I clarified to lavish me, you see, it must be acknowledged that it was wrong from medium to medium not to involve your mother. Had you started so well! He had thrown in his arms, had moaned and cried! What a scene so pathetic! What a shame not to have finished!

His gentle mother, full of joy, I would have put you forever in a convent, with the aim of helping his virtue, and there would have loved to Danceny as willed, no rivals, and sinless. Would you have abandoned the pain to their widths, and Valmont, probably would not have gone to trouble their grief with the disgusting pleasures.

Seriously, is it possible that having completed fifteen years it is still a child? Well said he does not deserve my kindness.

I, however, be friends, and perhaps what you need is the mother and the husband who wants to give. But what do we do if no form is more? What can you expect when making the trial come to the other, it seems, on the contrary, you take it off?

If I could think for a moment to herself, would find very quickly that instead of complaining, should be the felicitation. But you're embarrassed, and this makes you uncomfortable! Ay! calm down already, the embarrassment caused by love is like the pain that he experienced more than once. We can still pretend you later, but no longer feel. However, the pleasure is, and this is not little. I am convinced that in the midst of his talk, I discovered that you had very large.

Come on, a little good faith, tell me frankly. The trouble that prevented him from doing as I said, I did that you find so difficult to defend that. Put Valmont angry when you left, shame was what caused it, or was it pleasure? And so to insinuate, as you do not know what to say, do not come from the mode of action? Ah, child! Not you tell me what you feel, and cheats on his girlfriend! This does not seem right. But let's leave aside. What would be a pleasure for all, and perhaps nothing else, would be for you in your situation happiness. In effect, placed between a mother who should be loved, and a lover who would love forever, why not see that the only way to achieve these two things is to deal with someone else? Distracted by this new adventure, as you would the air for his mother sacrificing taste displease him, would become her lover for the honor of a glorious defense. Protests continued that he wanted to, not grant the final test of love.

These refusals, so little harsh in your situation, your lover would not attribute them to their strengths. It would, perhaps, sorry for you, but why would love more, and to have the double merit in the eyes of the one given to love, to resist the other, would cost you more to enjoy the pleasures he offered. Oh! how many women have lost their reputation, which had been preserved with care, if they could hold it by such means!

Do not see this game that I propose as the most reasonable and the sweetest? Do you know what he has achieved with whom he has taken? That its mother attributed his sadness over an extreme love, which is chopped at this, and to punish her, just waiting to be quite sure of it. Just wrote on this subject, and will use all means to extract the confession, and even tells me to propose for her husband will Danceny, and all for the purpose of making you talk. And if you get seduced by this false tenderness, answered candidly, very soon you will be locked for a long time, perhaps forever, and slowly its blind credulity cry.

is necessary, therefore, that this trick you want to use against you, either fight with each other. Start by showing less sadness, and thinking it Danceny is less concerned. She will be persuaded of this much easier, as is the usual effect of the absence, and will thank
more as you will find here a chance to applaud their wisdom, has suggested that this discretion. But if keeping in doubt, try it insists, and talks of marriage, submit to his will as a well-born daughter. And indeed, what you risk it?

As far as a husband, always worth as much as a mother is more modest and much less awkward than this. Once you are happy with you, to try to marry her, and then, being freer and may, at is election, Valmont leave to take Danceny, or save them both. Because, you see, Danceny is excellent, and one of those that they can take and leave when you want, but not so with Valmont, is difficult and dangerous to keep you leave. You need to use him a lot of skill, or much docility when it is missing. But also, if you could have it make for a friend, would be a joy. He put you in the front rank of all our women to fashion. In this way it acquires a consistency in the world and not be ashamed and mourn, as when the nuns were on their knees eating.

If you were a string, it would still make friends with Valmont, which should be very angry, and as you need to repair their nonsense, do not fear any hint, it quickly so you know that if men make us the first, we see ourselves forced to make the latter.

You now have a good excuse for them, because he ought not to keep this letter, and I demand that you release to Valmont after reading it. Do not forget to close earlier. First, it is necessary to afford you the credit for having taken this step with him, and that seems to have been advised, and second, because I have another friend in the world I can talk more frankly with you .

Goodbye, beautiful, follow my advice, and tell me if things go well with them. PD-

way, I forgot ... a word yet. You seek further refine his style, he writes like a child. I am aware that this is from you say everything you think. This can happen between the two, because between us there should be nothing hidden. But
with everyone, and especially with his lover, always have, you air a little fool. You should know that when writing to try to tell any more what he likes what you think. Farewell, dear love, embrace it, instead of scolding her, hoping to be more reasonable.

Paris, October 4, 1917 ...
