I went to fetch Amélie at the atelier, and we go to look for a place to paint in the Bois. Passing through Passy, we go to ask for news of Tony’s mother, who happens to be there; while Amélie goes up to see the invalid, we talk. I also went in for a moment to the Juvisys’; everyone is travelling except the old mother, who tells me about Mme de Bailleul and the Audiffrets, who are at Luchon and are going to Biarritz and Madrid for the christening of the royal infant the young queen is about to bring into the world.
