Poznámky
The "great Bonapartist": Paul de Cassagnac (1842–1904), the prominent Bonapartist journalist and polemicist, whose articles Marie followed closely. Julian apparently shared her political enthusiasm for him. ↩
Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923), the great actress whom the family knew socially. Bojidar adopting "the airs of a man" and "joking about Sarah" suggests he is performing worldly cynicism — probably insinuating something about her private life, as gossip about Bernhardt's love affairs was ubiquitous. ↩
