Little Mademoiselle Juvisy comes to take her guitar lesson here, with her mother and sister. Monsieur de Miranda arrived, and then Madame Cerny. Miranda is very amiable. He has a grown daughter of twenty, and he looks quite young.
It is silly, but I wept again rereading the last pages of Paul et Virginie. At the end, at the bottom of the page, there is a vignette depicting Paul with his face hidden in his hands. This artless engraving is quite melancholy in its effect.
