Let me give you some advice here: People who want to have the sex talk with you will act the same way as people who want to murder you. First they get you in their car, so they're in control and you can't escape. Then they drive you someplace in the middle of nowhere. ↗
Chalmers, like many of the English writers whom he then most admired, felt a strong natural sympathy with everything French.
