I forgot to mention that yesterday they performed *La Favorite* and that the *prima donna* is beneath all criticism.
The door slams shut, and off they go! ==Have mercy!==
How sweet it is to wake up naturally; my alarm did not ring and I opened my eyes on my own. It is like when one is in a boat and drifts off; the boat...
I decide not to go to Monaco; it is not good for me to be seen every time at the pigeon shooting.
At church with Dina and Paul (blue dress, brown hat, *good*) -- countless people.
We go out and I take my dress to Monier who will fix it. ==Andrionoff== comes up with us to Monier's. We make plans for this spring. We shall see...
I go to that detestable Monier who has still not finished. Then I walk with Hitchcock (before walking I went by carriage with Machenka, Dina, and...
At ten o'clock Auda came, but she says she can do nothing for today; Maman is distressed and my aunt scolds and shouts, recalling every example of...
I wake at a quarter past eight with a headache; I dismissed the mathematics teacher. I go out in the carriage with Maman and my aunt, Dina is ill...
At church (brown dress, *good*), Mme de Galve was there; how young and pretty she is -- she looks like she's sixteen. There is a real ==commotion==...
At the Promenade, I was in the carriage with the family and saw Wittgenstein with Lambertye. ==The beautiful== Zigouzin was riding in an invalid's...
I had placed a comb and a small mirror under my pillow and I dreamed that Allard was doing my hair; indeed Joséphine wakes me saying the hairdresser...
I am lazy; I do not rise until eight o'clock -- I must change this, otherwise I am becoming common. Nothing spoiled today; everything was fine and...
Could it have been otherwise? Why could I think that this time it would be better, good?
It rains! ==Have mercy!== Hail to the rain! I take my white muslin dress to Simone; she will freshen it for Monday. I do not want to wear the blue...
It rains. I think of not going to Monaco, but all at once I remember that the next Shoot will be Monday and that Monday I shall not go out, since we...
We were late for church; we stop at Simone's to collect my white dress and go home. I had great difficulty doing my hair (brown dress, *good*). My...
Dina received many presents. I dress and around one o'clock I come down (white dress, *very good*, but afterwards only good). The boys begin to...
The alarm did not ring and I slept ==until half past eight==. ==Have mercy!== ==It is time to start working again; all these days were days of...
Despite all my stupid complaints and my madwoman's despairs, this is my happiest time, for I have hope. I am still nothing; all lies in my future;...
At last this day has come! The day I had so longed for, which seemed as if it would never come. This time we go -- myself, Maman, Dina, and Paul; as...
Only a minute remains and we run to get to our carriage. At Monaco everyone alights and one sees all these animals snatching at the carriages. The...
I am discontented with everything. Fortuné took my white dress to the laundry and instead of merely pressing it, they washed it. But that is a...
It was ten minutes to eleven when I rise; though rather late we went to church all the same, and from there to Mme Teplakoff's, who is still ill. We...
