Relevance to Marie

«Nous avons vu des meubles chez Smith. Il cherchera pour ma chambre, "dans le domaine de la fantaisie"» (019.0222, 14 May 1874); two hours choosing fabrics, woods and gilding there with «le diacre» (019.0294); further visits (020.0094, 020.0226). On 15-16 June the family turns to Duval, «le premier et ses prix sont plus raisonnables que ceux de Smith … nous n'irons plus chez ce ladre de Smith» (020.0294, 020.0300).
