Summary
What, Mycroft, seriously, you want me to write my story? You want me to tell you of the mystic scenes of Mlle D___ P___ with the Reverend Father S___ , that I inform you of the adventures of Madame F___?
You ask of a girl who has never written details which require organization? You want a tableau where the scenes of which I have spoken, or those in which we were the players, lose nothing of their lasciviousness; while the metaphysical arguments retain all their power? In truth, Mycroft, it seems to me beyond my strength. What is more, I have nothing to do with Mlle D___ P___, Father S___ was my spiritual director, I owe feelings of gratitude to the Madame, much as I hate her, and to the Mlle L___. Shall I betray the trust of people to whom I owe the greatest obligations, since it is the actions of the one and the thoughts of the other that, by degrees, have opened my eyes to the prejudices of my youth?
—Terese Philosophe, with amendments by Carlyle Foster.
