[edit] Edits to article

I expanded the article and removed the stub tag. I also rearrenged the original text and changed a few remarks for a more NPOV formulation. VladMV ٭ ^talk 01:48, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Run-on sentence: "While steadily targeting his main prey, Madame de Tourvel though realizing the prey she has become to Valmont eventually gives in because of tireless advantages into saying he loves her." Can someone re-write it? I can't make sense of it. --Pizzadeliverator 04:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
