“ It’s me and my little papers again. First of all, I am terrible and I will not spare you a single fly's paw as long as my own paws do not refuse me service. But calm down, my dear beloved, because this is coming to an end for this evening. Firstly because my privilege does not allow me to go further for today, then because it is late and I absolutely want to go to St Mandé tomorrow as we agreed this evening. I would be the unhappiest of women if I could not take this money to the Curé tomorrow. This debt weighs on me almost like a shame so I look forward to freeing myself from it as soon as possible, not that Mr. the Cure is not the best and most discreet of men but there are certain debts which involve more than honor and this is one of them. Also thanks to you I will be able to pay it off tomorrow. Thank you my beloved, thank you for ensuring this last asylum for me. I bless you and love you from the bottom of my grateful heart. Juliet. »
