Regarding Mrs. Levin, Arthur did not have any particular fondness or dislike for this figure who had influenced European politics for years.
However, this was not because Mrs. Levin was beautiful or not beautiful, but because he had already realized that this beauty, who once made countless prominent European figures fall for her charm, was gradually losing her political influence.
Although this loss of political influence did not occur overnight, compared to twenty years ago during the Vienna Conference, the all-powerful Mrs. Levin was long gone.
This can be seen from Mrs. Levin's history of changing lovers, starting with such renowned figures in Europe as the Duke of Wellington and Metternich, then moving to Palmerston, who was a well-known playboy in London's social circle, and now, this lady has fallen to the level of mingling with Guizot, France's Minister of Education.
Of course, this does not mean Arthur looks down on Mr. Guizot.
