Life with Boswell

Boswell visited von Buchwald (referred to as the Grande Maîtresse) in Gotha on October 18, 1764. He wrote of her that she "was a woman of beaucoup d'Esprit; but she talked with affected refined grief on the death of her only daughter & had the disagreeable manner to s'ecouter as a french author says."
