I can’t make very much out of the book incident myself — or rather, what I do make out of it can’t possibly be true. A long time ago B I heard of the Baroness von Hutten’s book and, seeing one of them in your Library, took it home to read — the 1 Referring to a jesting offer to reward her if she would write out these accounts. 85
