The Strange Adventures of the Count de Vinevil and his Family. Being an Account of What Happen'd to Them Whilst They Resided at Constantinople. ... The Second Edition. By Mrs. Aubin

This excerpt from 'The Strange Adventures of the Count De Vinevil and His Family' details the deep and lasting affection between a young nobleman and lady, born out of a sympathy of souls. The count, before leaving his castle for Turkey, speaks to the young Count of Longuemille, potentially about matters of the heart.
