At six o'clock we left that blessed Grand Hôtel, and at a quarter past seven, beautiful Paris.
I go out alone with Dina; then we collect Marie and Olga, we walk with them and afterward with Mme Sapogenikoff, going to Mortier's and to Manby's,...
We take our place in the third row of carriages, directly opposite the grandstands, but even so I cannot make out the people in them. Everyone is at...
The weather is grey, and I was wanting to go out; barely had I begun to do my hair when Mlle Collignon was announced, and almost simultaneously Mme...
A wind more than terrible — to convey its intensity, I shall say that I had the carriage closed up. We have all gone mad; the interior of that...

At two o'clock, Marie, Olga, I, Paul, and Cima — the last two masked — set off. This time, despite the noise, the motley crowd, and the gaiety...
Here is a day as stupid as all its predecessors — but so empty of everything that I hardly know what to say.
A bitter wolfish cold. I walk for an hour and a half with the Englishwoman, and on returning I encounter Nadinka who is going out; I go with her and...
I go for an hour's drive, then return for Leclerc. At home I wear every day a dress that Dina has discarded.
==It is with unparalleled joy that I return to my work.==
