Soon he was dropped by the wayside, and George moved on to Novelist Prosper Merimee. Merimee, as Maurois vouches, "was of the race from which the Devil picks his Don Juans," and spoke of love "with all the coarseness of a medical student"; George hoped that his cynicism would cure her "childish susceptibilities."
