We go to see the Queen1 with Maman, and then to the Salon with Villevieille. I am charming in grey, with the look of a rebel.2

We chat with Bastien and then with Carolus-Duran, who accompanies us all the way to the carriage.

Notes

Queen Isabel II of Spain, in exile at the Palais de Castille on the Avenue Kléber, kept a Bonapartist salon. ↩
Faux air de frondeuse: the slight air of a frondeuse — a female rebel, evoking participants in the 17th-century Fronde civil war. Marie's self-image: elegantly defiant. ↩
