The Memoirs of Count Grammont volume 07
excerpt from the book..The nearer the Chevalier de Grammont approached the court of France, themore did he regret his absence from that of England.A thousand different thoughts occupied his mind upon the journey:Sometimes he reflected upon the joy and satisfaction his friends andrelations would experience upon his return; sometimes upon thecongratulations and embraces of those who, being neither the one nor theother, would, nevertheless, overwhelm him with impertinent compliments:All these ideas
...passed quickly through his head; for a man deeply in lovemakes it a scruple of conscience not to suffer any other thoughts todwell upon his mind than those of the object beloved. It was then thetender, endearing remembrance of what he had left in London that divertedhis thoughts from Paris; and it was the torments of absence thatprevented his feeling those of the bad roads and the bad horses. Hisheart protested to Miss Hamilton, between Montreuil and Abbeville that heonly tore himself from her with such haste, to return the sooner; afterwhich, by a short reflection, comparing the regret he had formerly feltupon the same road, in quitting France for England, with that which henow experienced, in quitting England for France, he found the last muchmore insupportable than the former.
