I went to the atelier. Julian is absent, in Marseille for a month; but all these ladies cry out on seeing me! I brought a lace set to Amelie, who brings me up to date on the improvements, etc., etc.
I shall not resume right away; I am still tired from the treatment... and then, who knows, Maman may come back before it is too late, if God wills.
