Tuesday, 2 June 1874

I sum up these two days in few words. Yesterday we had a disagreeable incident at the hotel.
There have been complaints that we retire too late, that I sing late, and finally -- oh horror! -- that we are seen undressed in the evening. The indignation and fury of everyone are impossible to describe.
