The Swedish ladies told me that Mme Boje has taken up with her singing teacher and is going to try opera. Her husband and children are returning to Sweden, and her mother Mme Indebetten is coming to live with her.# Vendredi 10 mai 1878
Julian, who is a Bonapartist, came to talk with me about the pit in which Paul de Cassagnac finds himself. Defections everywhere. I have followed the appearances of the pamphlets, the letters, the articles. As for him, he has burned his bridges too often to be able to turn back.
Julian qui est bonapartiste est venu causer avec moi du puits dans lequel se trouve Paul de Cassagnac. Des défections partout. J'ai suivi les apparitions des brochures, les lettres, les articles. Quant à lui il a brûlé trop souvent ses vaisseaux pour pouvoir retourner en arrière.
He will be left all alone if this goes on.
Il restera tout seul si cela continue.
