Perspective lesson. The Princess and Alexis for dinner, along with Émile Bastien and Alice. We whisper with Alexis — this semblance of flirtation amuses me, and the Karageorgevitch mother is delighted. And the young man tells me that... If it were serious, everything would be said. So I say no.
I return to Homer.
My Nausicaa was in place yesterday and I was pleased with the movement — which was desolate — and last night she fell. Everything had to be rebuilt.
M. Wolgren, Bojidar, the model, and I have rebuilt a solid armature this time. It all has to be started again — but I have it in my heart.
