Sunday, 16 November 1879

Yesterday afternoon Tarente introduced the Comte de Courtès. This Tarente comes too often.
I went to old Mme Gavini’s; her usual company was there, fashion plates of the Empire. Afterwards we go with her to leave cards, and she brings me back home, where I find Blanc.

In French in the original: les cocodettes (showily elegant women, the feminine of cocodès, a swell). ↩
