I went to the atelier. Julian is absent, in Marseille for a month; but all the ladies cry out when they see me! I brought a lace set to Amélie, who brings me up to date on the improvements, etc., etc.
I shall not get back to work 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.
