Assiduity [noun] - constant or close attention to what one is doing
Madeleine de Scudéry had a deep love for conversation and well informed people. She loved a man much younger than her. What kind of bond did they have? "Any true feelings between them were impossible. Society at her time sniggered at any evidence of passion in an older woman." They took their love to the realm of literary affection, as a game, a polite and clever lovemaking that developed in the environment of the salon, a game of manners.
