Rumpelmayer's, which I had to visit this evening too, to complete the day. We ate excellent cherry ices. What a bad husband I would make! And what an...
We arrive halfway through the mass -- myself, Dina, and Paul (blue dress, very good) -- how ugly and badly dressed the Skariatines are! There are...
We took tea this morning for the first time with Miss Hitchcock; she is rather nice, and I am beginning to get used to her. I have resumed my usual...
We go to the station again -- myself, Dina, and Hitchcock. I asked the stationmaster's permission and we passed into the buffet. There were already a...
We go out walking with Hitchcock (blue dress, black hat, good) -- "she is so innocent" that she told me one ought not go walking on the promenade...
I had scarcely sat down at the piano when Nadinka came running in to say the Howards had come. Hélène and Lise have felt hats in the style of mine,...
I went riding with Paul at half past four -- a little too late, but it is not so hot. At the beginning I could not trot well; only towards the end I...
We are invited to the Howards' (green dress, black hat, mackintosh, good). Already from the window I see beaming faces; I enter and Aggie kisses me a...
I rise early and go to Maman's room; they bring the newspapers, and according to my habit I take the Galignani's. I read: ==The Post says the...
All these days, torrential rains -- but today the weather is fine. I was having my English lesson when Walitsky flings open the door, rushes in with...
My first ==breakfast== is a great pleasure, and every day I look forward to it. But today Lemp comes ten minutes early and I had not time to eat....
Another unbearable wind. I bought a globe, had the portrait of Boiard delivered, and bought a balance.
I must go riding -- this new horse. I am eager to finish my studies; I have added another hour of Latin and an hour with Brunet. ==When my lesson are...
At lunch we had a great religious debate. Everyone was talking and shouting. They are absurd -- especially Bete, who maintains that the priest...
Maman, my aunt, Bete, Dina, and Walitsky go to Monte Carlo to dine with some French people Maman had known in Baden, with whom we lunched at the...
At nine o'clock I am nearly ready; I have only to put on the dress. Maman calls me:
In the *Galignani* again -- horrors. The Duke of Hamilton is marrying on the 10th or 11th of next month; the Duchess and the Princess of Monaco are...
I go out first on foot with Hitchcock; I am beginning to get used to the brown dress -- the bodice fits admirably. We cross the Quai Masséna and the...
We go to see the outfits at Kingsbury's; they do not please me -- they smell of the Lyon Company, and there is an English accent about them, the...
Georges has returned from Aix -- a complete triumph. I am told all at once that yesterday on the way back from Monaco they met the Comte de...
