The Floréal ball drew a great crowd, but no beautiful dresses. I wore a pink gown. A great many people came to see us in our box. Boreel no longer amuses me much. And to think how he once fascinated me! Deep down, I believe it is his gait that displeases me.

Notes

The Floréal balls were significant social events in Nice during the winter season, attended by both local aristocracy and wealthy visitors.
