We return the call to Mme Berteaux, then I come home to find Claire and Villevieille painting. My statue drives me mad — at moments it seems to me deranged, then superb, then hideous... In the evening, more of yesterday's sort — the Engelhardts. They disgust me after the newspaper affair.Nous rendons sa visite à Mme Berteaux et je rentre chez moi où je trouve Claire et Villevieille peignant.
