Other descriptions exist in great abundance, but these suffice to serve our purpose. They show us the Coppet salon as it was--pleasant, brilliant, unconventional; something like Holland House, but more Bohemian; something like Harley Street, but more select; something like Gad’s Hill--which it resembled in the fact that the members of the house-parties were expected to spend their mornings at their desks--but on a higher social plane; a centre at once of high thinking and frivolous behaviour; of hard work and desperate love-making, which sometimes paved the way to trouble. If only one had space to go into the details of that love-making! But that is a subject which would need a much larger book than this to do it justice.
