Saint-Amand has had a few lines printed in Le Voltaire about my painting.
Antoine Gavini came. And then visits from Baroness Reille and the Countess de Chabrillan, née de la Tour du Pin — one of the saleswomen. Mme Goldsmid the mother, whose sister married the Count de Damas — that is why the Goldsmid household goes everywhere in the Faubourg. Soutzo has not come. Perhaps he is at the Audiffrets’ — but no, he generally lets a day pass between visits... All the same, it is rather curious to be jealous without love. As a sensation it is interesting.
