CHAPTER XXVII
8/24

I told him that if he would n't come with me I would come alone, and he said I might do as I chose--that he was not in a humor for making visits.

I wanted to come to you very much; I had been thinking about it all day; and I am so fond of a visit like this in the evening, without being invited.

Then I thought perhaps you had a salon--does n't every one in Paris have a salon?
I tried to have a salon in New York, only Gordon said it would n't do.

Oh, do say it is; I should like so much to see Captain Lovelock in a salon! By good fortune he happened to have been dining with us; so I told him he must bring me here.
