Saturday, 10 July 1880

The day before yesterday my aunt went to the Comedie-Francaise with the Gavinis, and Gabriel came to the box; he has not left Paris. I shall never understand why he no longer comes to the house. A few people: Mmes Gavini, Jinsingen, Fargman, Moraes, Mlle de Villevieille, Mme de Quincy. Wodzinski posed this morning; he confided that he has made his proposal, and the family having departed he has no answer, but he is not positively rejected since they are in negotiations with the father. He said laughingly that he would poison me if I ever told this; he asks my advice on his affairs. Saint-Amand arrives during lunch; he may come to Mont-Dore.
Wodzinski gave me a stick trimmed with silver, with my monogram and coronet. He is going to La Bourboule along with Rosita and Moraes; it is quite near Mont-Dore.
