Note 16 — LETTER XXXIV.
Reading edition
When he was at the Congress at Cambray, he had a Fancy to regulate every Plenipotentiary’s Houshold; and indeed, that was all he did there. One Day he took it into his Head to give his Œconomical Rules at my Lord Whitworth’s, but he did not find my Lady very compliant; for, said she, M. le Marquis, We make use of the Italians to regulate our Concerts; but as for the Table, pray give us leave to consult the French.
