Near the end of the work she gives this piece of advice: "Il est tres-doux d'avoir des gens autour de soi, et de se voir epargner mille petites peines, mais il faut savoir se passer du service d'autrui". The countess of Bradi, a friend of Madame de Genlis, wrote works for young people, short stories and manuals on politeness and the art of writing. She was raised harshly, it is said, by her cavalry captain father. She married a Corsican nobleman when she was seventeen.
