Note 50 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
According to Reverdil, this woman was introduced to the king by Count von Danneskjold Laurvig. She had risen from the vilest state of prostitution to the rank of mistress of Sir John Goodricke, the English minister appointed to Sweden, but whom French intrigues prevented from residing at Stockholm. She was called, in consequence, Milady. At this time she was the very faithless mistress of the Viennese envoy.
