I stroll idly all day and work only from five to seven in the carriage. [Three lines blacked out, illegible]
I had a photograph taken of the corner I am painting, in order to have the pavement lines quite exact. The operation took place this morning at seven o'clock. From six o'clock the architect was there, and we set off. Myself, Emile, Rosalie, Coco, and the photographer.
Not that the brother's presence is of any use — but it is more cheerful; I like to have a little retinue around me.
