she notes Algarotti must have thought he hit the jackpot - a princely patron who was young, smart, charismatic and sexually compatible! - and with some Schadenfreude reports how that turned out
Hee! That's a description.
Lady Mary was no longer emotionally nor Algarotti financially grasping. She was a self confessed old woman, and he a scholar- critic in his early forties, retired from public life . Their minds still struck sparks.
This makes me happy. Again friendship for the win! <3 :D
Ooh, I could totally see Wilhelmine wanting to meet Lady Mary (especially given your speculation on her wanting to see MT) and also keeping it a secret because, well, Fritz isn't at war with Lady Mary, but the LAST time she had lunch with someone it didn't go well, so best just keep it secret and safe :)
