All afternoon I spent weeping, asking what dress I am going to have, and annoying the others and myself. I do not know what was the matter with me,...
Horrible dust and wind. To church (vicuna garment), then home. These days we do almost nothing in the way of lessons — morning and evening at church.
It rained, then fairly fine. To church (vicuna garment), a great many people — nearly the whole church took communion. Then home.
A very fine, insignificant drizzle, at times nothing at all.
In the morning, to church (black dress) — I confessed. The priest told me that I like to draw attention to myself, that I am vain, etc. etc. etc....
Fine, rain through the sunshine, then grey and fine.
Grey and cool, dreary. All through Holy Week I was neither going to bed nor getting up at regular hours; today is the first day.
Wind and cool. At the promenade, in the carriage (vicuna garment, not bad), almost no one. I went to try on my dress.
Sunshine, then rain through the sunshine, then splendid weather — the air pure, refreshed by a spring rain.
Fine but windy. I rose an hour earlier than usual — at six I was ready. From seven to half past seven on the terrace.
Very strong wind, dust. Truly I cannot get over the Tolstoy woman's audacity.
At ten o'clock the Howards came, but it was raining; however, we resolved to wait until the rain stopped. Indeed the rain did stop, but it was grey...
Cold as in winter. To church (blue dress) — very cold, as in winter.
Little sunshine, cold. At the promenade (vicuna garment, but badly) — almost no one, but a better sort of people, none of those detestable Nice...
Fine cool weather and a little wind. At eleven to church, for the Emperor's birthday (new dress).
Very fine but a little cool. I rise at half past five now, and am in bed at ten.
Fine weather. At the promenade, we let Dominique go; we want to pay him less than in the season, and the matter is not yet settled. At the music (new...
Fine weather, a little windy. At the promenade, on foot first, then in a four-seat carriage with two horses (black silk and velvet dress, new hat)....
Wind. Maman's name day; I gave her my bouquet. She is in her bed. I began to do my hair — I tried three styles, nothing. At last it is done, then to...
Not to church (new ecru dress).
Fine weather. At the promenade with Mme Markevitch, who has been lodging downstairs with us for two months. Mlle Collignon is ill; she has lost her...
Rain. Maman is up, Mlle Collignon as well. At the promenade (black dress, oilcloth hat — not bad). In a closed carriage for some errands, then home.
Very fine. At seven o'clock, after yesterday's rain, it was so beautiful, so fresh. The trees lit by the sun were so green that I could not go study...
At ten, to the sea; Dina, my aunt, and I bathed; Maman accompanied us (white dress, pink hat — good). Quite a number of people on the beach, no...
I am waiting for Mlle Collignon for the lesson — half an hour now. It is like this every day. And Maman reproaches me,
Fine weather. At eleven, to the bath (pink dress). A fairly good swim. But there were any number of *handsome Nice locals* in the water, which...
To church (new dress — not bad); it is very hot. From church we brought Nathalie Patton home. Then at one o'clock to the Savelieffs'. Madame is...
Last evening, having gone to bed, Markevitch came to sit on my bed and we laughed a great deal and talked nonsense. I told her my fancies — the...
Heavy, grey, a little wind, but fine. At the promenade (black dress, roses) — some errands in town that I wished to prolong, for afterward we had to...
Before seven, I ate a plate of strawberries. At nine, Mlle Collignon and I walked to the Howards' (violet dress). I was in a bad mood, for at and...
At half past eight we all went, except my aunt, who has a very high fever, to the funeral. First there was a service at the house, then everyone went...
Dreadful weather, wind, dust. One can say of what I heard yesterday: ==*Quivi sospiri, pianti ed alti guai / risonavan per l'aer senza stelle, /...
Fairly fine. At the promenade (pink percale dress, hat with roses — not bad). I went to the shops for all sorts of errands; then, before returning,...
