Comte de Broglie
While the woman in the blue dress with her pointed stares at the King's brother was one to garner attention, I fear that I would not care to make the claims that dear Silvestre-jean has made nor care to repeat them, I am sure, as under french law, the child, if born, would be well take care off. We all know of the Baroness more interesting proportions and I commend the Baron for being able to loosen the purse strings long enough to hire a reputable dressmaker. I recommend the Vicomtesse to get the name, but that would lessen the scandalous whispers she creates when she enters a salon and I'm sure that there is no surprise at saying that I believe she enjoys it more than a summer's day. One should enjoy these pleasures while one can. As long as the Father is not too shocked that he can not pray for our souls.
I have heard of the woman in the blue dress with the odd accent. While I had not heard about poor Vicomte J______'s misfortunes, I have heard that one of my captains that they came across a small vessel while in the channel on their way to Calais. The vessel bore no markings and when hailed attempted to make with haste away. Now, while the captain had at times expeditated shipments quickly through tarriffs and taxes, while making sure that the King's accountants were paid for their troubles, he thought nothing of this mentionning that perhaps it was some tryst fleeing a jealous wife as it seemed to be two people, a man and a woman.
What is also interesting to note is the meeting that I'm told was witnessed at the play between a Baron d'Enfou and a rather non pur laine individual that he met in the salon during the intermission. No doubt the interest of most was on the woman in the blue dress but this individual was seen handing something to d'Enfou and leaving shortly after the WITBD stormed off after some comment was made about relations with neighboring states.
Yours, service, humility, etc etc
