Mlle Pelikan

Overview

A daughter of M. Pelikan in 1880, distinct from Zoé Pelikan (see Zoé Pelikan), who by then was married to the son of Mme Cross. Marie says «La fille de Pélikan, Mlle Pélikan est arrivée avec Mme Cross dont le fils a épousé Zoé Pélikan que j'ai connue à Nice» (088.0164), so this is another daughter, or a sister of Zoé; the diary does not say which.

Relevance to Marie

Stub replaced. Pelikan family from the t.4 index («Pelikan (M.)», «Pelikan (Mlle Zoé)», «Cross (M), futur mari de Zoé Pelikan») and t.13 («Cross (Mme) 242, 254, 262»). The 1880 Mlle Pelikan is not Zoé: Zoé is Mme Cross's daughter-in-law in the same sentence.

References in Diary

On 13 May 1880 in Paris Marie is embarrassed, with a ringing in her ears she tries to hide, as Mlle Pelikan and Mme Cross dine with the family (088.0164); on 23 May again: «La fille de Pélikan et Mme Cross, Anitchkoff et le pope à dîner» (088.0298).
