Poznámky
"L'Aquarium": the Naples Aquarium in the Villa Reale, where on 7 April 1877 Marie gave Larderel the rendezvous she has regretted ever since ("le rendez-vous si absurde, si maladroit, de l'Aquarium", 070, 22 April); she means that episode, not a person. (The Aquarium of Anton Dohrn's Stazione Zoologica stood in the Villa Comunale or Villa Reale and was inaugurated in 1874: szn.it, «La storia».) ↩
The Teatro della Pergola, Florence's principal opera house and theater; closed for the season. ↩
"Silène" is the nickname of La Righi, Larderel's former mistress, coined by Melissano and Marcuard at Sorrento by turning the Hôtel de la Sirène into "Silène" (070; cf. 071.0080 "Silène Righi"). Her daughter by Larderel, little Alexandrine, is the child Marie saw with her in the Cascine. ↩
