At Duval's we stay until five o'clock choosing fabrics, and in truth, if nothing prevents it, the selection is admirable and the furniture will be remarkable. My bedroom, the drawing room, the little green antechamber, the dining room, and the smoking room. And if God permits, they will build the grand drawing room and the grand dining room, and the reception rooms will be truly beautiful. I am satisfied — that is saying a great deal.

We dine at home and in the evening go to see "Orphee."
