Diary of Marie Bashkirtseff

It rains. They go out before me, giving me a rendezvous at the baths. In full rain costume I go there; I remain in the salon looking at engravings, thinking they will come out any moment. Only after an hour... they enter. Having forgotten me, these ladies, instead of going to the baths, went into town. I returned, for to wait another hour would have been too much.
I was hungry; I ate nearly an entire chicken and a basket of strawberries while reading.
I went out very little; a day passed eating and reading before a little table.
In the evening at the concert with Viviani, we made the acquaintance of Mme Basilevitch.
We went into the Casino; I leave before the dances, which were very wretched, so I was told on returning.
