- I'll review this. Give me a day or so as I'm slow at reviewing. --Rosekelleher (talk) 16:49, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Looks great, and I'm ready to approve it but I have a question. The very first source listed her birth name as Hortense-Térèse-Sigismonde-Sophie Alexandrine Allart, born September 7, 1801, but the infobox showed her birth name as Hortense Allart de Méritens, born September 1, 1801. I gather de Méritens was her married name, not her birth name. I went ahead and corrected that, along with some other minor errors. In particular, please take a look at this sentence: The Countess introduced Allart to two suitors and the economist Hippolyte Passy, the poet Pierre-Jean de Béranger. That's not grammatically correct, so I edited it, but I need you to check and make sure I interpreted your meaning correctly. I also changed the wording slightly in a couple of places to avoid close paraphrasing before I saw your note about the Knowles book being in the public domain and realized I didn't need to worry about that. I don't think I did any harm; it's an old book and the diction is old-fashioned. Before I approve this I need you to take one last look and make sure the changes I made are okay. Thanks for doing this, btw. I'd never heard of Allart before. --Rosekelleher (talk) 20:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
