-Lettre du 11 nov. 1702 (de Berlin) : « Milord Woodstock est ici comme un homme triomphant en bonne fortune. Toutes ses mines se rapportent à la bonne opinion qu’il a de sa beauté. Le chevalier Fontaine qui est avec lui ne fait pas tant de cas de la sienne. L’on le raille qu’il aime mieux voir une vieille médaille qu’une belle femme. Cela est cause qu’il raisonne aussi plus librement et a de l’esprit. Comme il est whig, il n’a pas bonne opinion du parlement qui va venir » (Küh 1905, p. 24; Callataÿ 2015, p. 313-314, II.13).

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (fr)

[Mylord Woodstock is here as a triumphant man in good fortune. All his appearances are for the good opinion he has of his beauty. The Chevalier Fontaine who is with him does not make as much case of his own. He is mocked as preferring better to see an old medal than a pretty woman. This is due to the fact that he is thinking more freely and he is witty.] (Trans. F. de Callataӱ.) (fr)
