Good grief. Unrequiited love sucks. For both sides, especially when combined with such relentlessness. Mind you, if he did let her pay for the trip to England, I‘d say this at least was encouragement?

But yes, silver lining. BTW, Burgdorf the unreliable GAY GAY AND DID I MENTION GAY Fritz biographer of course lists Alagarotti among the Fritzian conquests and assures his readers that never ever did Algarotti consort with anyone female ever. For verily, bi people do not exist. Sigh.
