Black Rabbit ,' he breathed. 'If only you were mine.'

Compiled by MADELEINE BINGHAM from the correspondence between Princess Lieven and Francois Guizot with Dorothy Tutin and Julian Glover
In 1837 the Russian Princess Dorothee Lieven was living alone in self-exile in Paris. At 51, she was a charming elegant and wilful lady, feared as a political intriguer. She was also the frequently unfaithful wife of a dull Russian Ambassador.
Francois Guizot was 54, a former professor at the Sorbonne, a statesman and future French Ambassador at St James's Court, and a widower.
He was destined to be her last and most devoted lover.
