References in Diary

• 1875-01-09 (028.0196): "Pelikan et Bottóne ont dîné, ce dernier nous accompagne au théâtre."
• 1875-03-29 (030.0409): when maman is taken ill, "Dina court chercher Bottóne"; he has come back because his wife died ten days earlier, is "très attentif, très bon", and leaves only to put "ces pauvres petits orphelins" to bed. That Dina runs for him when maman is ill might mean he is a doctor; this is a guess (0.4).
