Tuesday, 26 November 1878

I go to the Gavinis' and there make the acquaintance of the young Duc de Feltre — one of the youngest members of the Chamber.
Then... we go with the old one to Doucet's, and while I am trying things on they come to say that Mme de Cassagnac has come to collect her otter coat — adding that Mme de Cassagnac is downstairs.
She had her trousseau made at Doucet's and it cost her eleven thousand francs. She must be wealthy, all the same, to shop at that establishment.
You cannot imagine what a disagreeable impression that name makes on me: Mme de Cassagnac.
