I am painting Dina’s portrait. Berthe takes me skating at the club; it is very elegant, but I do not enjoy myself; I am ugly.
This evening I had Mlle Marie Delsarte, who comes to show me sculpture; I shall invite her four or five times, and after that I shall go on alone. My family, Berthe and Alexis came in with us, and I worked with all these people around me.
