520			_a"My Dear Lord Byron, I hate to ask you for money...However, I only require a little present aid, and that I am sure you will not refuse me, as you once refused to make my acquaintance because you held me too cheap....H. W." These are the memoirs of the reigning courtesan of Regency London whose patrons included most of the distinguished men of her day, from the Duke of Wellington to Lord Byron. Hard-pressed for money in middle-age, she sold her memoirs after offering to edit out any lovers who paid her the sum of 200 Lira.... "Publish and be damned!" cried the Duke of Wellington....... She did and she was.
