“Croxteth, Dec. 30th, 1833.

“I cannot resist sending you another extract from a letter from Me. de Dino received yesterday. I particularly wished to know if she had seen the Flahauts at Paris. Now you must know that nothing could exceed Talleyrand’s kindness to Flahaut all his life. He has been his patron and protector—in short, a father to him.* Thus she writes:—‘Je n’ai rien vu du tout des Flahaut. Le mari n’a pas même mis une carte chez M. de T. Il les a recontré aux Tuileries, ou Monsr. de Flahaut n’a pas même salué. Cela a fait dire un très joli mot à Monsr. de Talleyrand, à qui on demandait l’explication de l’impolitesse de Monsr. de Flahaut. “C’est que je l’ai apparemment mal élevé!”’ Nothing could be neater.”
