Madame Gavini and Goldsmid — who is married and asking to present his wife. They say she is not from an entirely fashionable family...
Goldsmid is the worst gossip in the world; he tells nasty stories about Popaul that are circulating about town. It seems he did not receive, by way of dowry, what was promised.
I went to see Berthe with Nadine. Since she has come twice, I can surely go to her once and put up with that little fool for half an hour. Upon my word, there is no other name for her. She always tells you stories that have neither head nor tail, which she calls extraordinary and which are simply stupid.
