Identity (RSR, 2026-10-22)
A Russian princess Eristoff (Eristavi) of the Spa season of 1874, in the circle of Mme Basilévitch, the Body brothers and the comte Merjeewsky. Marie: «la princesse Eristoff (encore une née marchande; légère et veut se divorcer pour épouser un Body)» (020.0509, 2 July 1874); «la princesse Eristoff, dont l'autre frère Body est l'ami intime» (020.0478). She rides, dances and climbs with Marie's party (020.0534, 021.0003, 021.0203–0207, 022.0019–0040) and is still mentioned in August (023.0172). Her forename and husband are not given; not identified further.
Bare «Eristoff» at Spa is she. The Mon Journal t.4 index files the bare name under «Eristoff (prince)» (pp. 5, 7, 17, 21, 39, 57), but the text shows the princess each time it can be checked: «Nous montions, moi, Paul, Eristoff, Body, le comte … pendant la montée la princesse Eristoff me cancanait» (021.0003); «je reste en arrière avec Eristoff et le comte … La princesse, ennuyée de voir son cavalier auprès de moi, s'en va au galop» (021.0207). No prince Eristoff appears at Spa (0.85).
