On 22 October 1873 Marie describes «une seconde Gioia… Pauline, qui depuis un mois est sous la protection d'un Anglais»: in a month she has an apartment on the Promenade des Anglais, a coupé, a victoria, two horses, a fashionable maid and nine thousand francs of lace bought for cash (011.0174). On 18 November, driving all the time, Bête says she looks like «la Pauline», which Marie hates (012.0276); on 22 November they discuss cocottes and husbands (013.0022).
