On this day my hopes are shattered, and as for being happy... God alone can make me happy!]
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 Véra 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...
One truly does not know what to wear; I have no jacket, and my cotton dress is too little towards six o'clock. The affair with Palajka continues...
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...
Having gone to bed at twelve, I do not get up until six. It is raining (rain cloak, good); to Visconti's and Medecin's -- tomorrow I shall be able to...
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?
They have begun doing up the dining room. I have been working since six o'clock: one hour of studies, one hour of Manotte, one hour of chemistry, one...
The alarm clock did not wake me, and I slept until ten. Joséphine 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:
