The studio had a model session.
High Mass.
Morning at the Swiss girls'. Visit to Berthe.
Horrible scenes at home — Georges insults and strikes everyone.
To tell it in detail — it is hideous, simply hideous.
The harm my mothers do me, the evil, the scenes they provoke that feed gossip... but they suffer still more... I do not know whether to detest them or pity them.
What a hell!
Zurlo called.
