Saturday, 9 March 1878

Robert-Fleury did not come. Instead of waiting for callers I went to the atelier, and on my return found Mme de Fayet — of whom I make utter sport — who reproached me for having put off Cassagnac: Give him to us on a Saturday — for everyone!
I try to turn her head with Cassagnac's supposed love for her. She amuses me. There was only she and M. d'Alt.
