A little later, the following letter was written from the excellent
Mrs. Montagu to her correspondent Mrs. Elizabeth Carter. "There was
yesterday presented, preparatory to leaving England for Vienna, the
young Lady Belamour, incomparably the greatest beauty who has this
year appeared at Court. Every one is running after her, but she
appears perfectly unconscious of the _furore_ she has excited, and
is said to have been bred up in all simplicity in the country, and
to be as good as she is fair. Her young husband, Sir Amyas Belamour,
is a youth of much promise, and they seem absolutely devoted, with
eyes only for each other. They are said to have gone through a
series of adventures as curious as they are romantic; and indeed,
when they made their appearance, there was a general whisper, begun
by young Mr. Horace Walpole, of
"CUPID AND PSYCHE."
