My first mathematics lesson, with that detestable professor, a second Bensa, ugh! I still had half an hour of French with M. Brunet left when Palajka...
I learned from Elder that an American boy ==admired you==. I find that people concern themselves too much with me. I have done almost nothing. At...
My Latin professor is delighted with my progress. I finished at four o'clock and we go out (unbleached dress, Dina looking well). It is cool and even...
At last I have finished the article against "A journey across the central plains of Europe." It remains to publish it now. Poor Miss Elder is quite...
I light the candle in the morning; since yesterday it has been cold. I saw Mme Boreel at her window and the Hendersons on foot; at last ==Prodgers's...
I write three letters to the Howards in the morning. During and after lunch I was tormented; they made me cry. Maman irritates me to such a point...
It is the feast day of my aunt, of Bete, of her daughter, and of little Vera Anitchkoff. I go out with Paul; we take a cab and meet Maman, Dina, and...
I go to Maman and tell her what I felt yesterday, gently. There was no scene; on the contrary, they agreed I was right. I wept softly, my head bowed...
The maths professor [sic] arrives; I could not go, but I had to. I asked him not to make me do any mental work, feigning a migraine (I never suffer...
I am indisposed, and instead of studying I thought for two and a quarter hours.
Lemp does not come; the school term has begun. Paul has been accepted as a day student, ==of course==, in the fourth form, to my great satisfaction....
I was still asleep when Manotte came, but since I do not like to rush or be disturbed, I ask Dina to go first. I have begun the Pathetique Sonata. I...
M. Brunet came and we settled the hours. I was at the English church with Paul. Poor Childers preaches miserably. Palajka was brought in -- she is...
At five o'clock they come to fetch me (green dress, not bad); we go to the promenade -- Maman, the Princess, Dina, and I. The Wittgenstein woman...
The less one has to do, the less time one has. I dismissed all my tutors in the hope of going to Monaco, but the money has not yet arrived, and to my...
Paul, Arson, and Khalkionoff are an inseparable trinity whose God is Walitsky. These little boys!
I was supposed to practise my piano, but Maman fell asleep in the room next to the drawing room. I had to do something else -- that is to say,...
That little Elder is a minx. I have never seen a worse gossip -- she is only eighteen. What will she be with time?
She had a girlish air. This dress is oddly made, as if she had put on the Princess's dress -- it is fitted in the cut, but on her it is very loose....
The alarm clock did not wake me, and I slept until ten. Josephine came to ask if I am going to church. Of course I go (unbleached dress, good). There...
I was at my English lesson; the Princess comes to tell me:
