        <ptr target="ukred-21102">Passages quoted at length in E. M. Forster"s Commonplace Book (1940) include three extracts from the Letters of Madame de Sevigne, the first of which, Forster notes underneath it, "is not the one I wanted to copy out," continuing, "Her orthodox, gaiety, and caution are much better combined in the following," and announcing the third with "And still better -- gaiety dominating".</ptr>
