text_original: One can imagine how absurd such exac  tions must have seemed to the good Villers, with his head full of Kant and Madame de Rodde to attend to his comforts ; but the truth was that Madame de Stael's mood just then caused her to make herself needlessly miserable about every  thing. To Mathieu de Montmorency she wrote that she was filled with terror, and fancied that death must shortly overtake her father, children, friends, everybody dear to her.
