Lucie, just back from Rome, speaks to me; we exchange a few words, and as the concert ends, I tell the coachman to move on.
We see Girofla getting into his carriage near the Place Masséna and following us from a distance; we dash home, quick quick, run, cross the garden,...
We were speaking of our faces and Collignon said that if she did not know me, she would say of me — There is a beautiful girl, for you are tall and...
I had scarcely stepped into my bathing cabin when I heard Lucie Durand's hearty voice asking the bathers whether we had arrived; I opened the door,...
I bathed in great tranquillity, and being alone in my cabin I admired my hair which, while I was quite naked, covered my shoulders and back all the...
They all arrived too late! We had already finished our leaps and dives, and so on, and were dressing (Marie and I) when they came — Girofla and...
I have set myself to reading the memoirs of Marguerite de Valois, wife of Henri *IV*.
Unlike yesterday, today I feel fit to die.
Muse! Tell how we paraded before Girofla's windows — he without his waistcoat, watching us from one of those windows unsuspecting.

Girofla asked yesterday at the theatre whether we would go to the baths; I said yes — and he is at the baths.
What weather! Wind, dust, storm.
Let anyone come and tell me again that I am a madwoman with an overactive imagination.
==All men who wish to excel the other animals should strive with all their might not to pass their lives in silence, like cattle, which nature has...
At the baths with Sabatini; at the door of the cabin Audiffer — in white like me — comes to greet me.
It is raining. Girofla was supposed to come — but in his place we see Caligula, who comes to us to find Audiffret, as he says.
I am impatient to go to the concert — it is hot, one is bored, and besides I must see Audiffret about tomorrow's excursion. We see him at the...
