On 17 February 1878 Marie and her friends sent Kolémine and his companion ahead to the Café Anglais, promising to follow in ten minutes, ordered her favourite dishes and went home: «Kolémine mené comme un chien toute la soirée en sera pour un souper dans le Grand-16 et un affront devant les garçons» (078.0209). Three days later «agir comme pour le Grand-16 du Café Anglais» is her shorthand for making a rendezvous and not keeping it (078.0263, about Marcuard).References in Diary
