Spence consacre plusieurs passages à Lesage ; il écrit, p. 188:

« His house is at Paris in the Faubourg St-Jaques (sic); and so, open to the country air : the garden laid eut in the prettiest manner that ever I saw, for a town garden. It was as prettv as it >vas small, and when he was in the studv-part of it, he Avas quite retired from the noise of the street, or any interruptions from his own family. The garden was onlyof the breadth of the house, from Avhich you stept out into a raiscd square parterre, planted Avith a variety of the clioicest ilowers. From this, you went doAvn, by a flight of steps on each side, into a Berceau ; Avhich Icd to two rooms or summer-houses quite at the end of the garden. ïhese were joined by an open portico, the roof of Avliich was supported with columns; so that he could Avalk from the one to the other ail under covcr, in tlie intervals of Avriting. The berceaux Avere coAcred Avith vines and honeysuckles, and the space betwcen them Avas grove-AAork. It Avas in the right-hand room as you go doAvn that he Avrote Gil Blas. »
