I have asked Count B--, who knows all about such things, to help me, and am working very hard.

He comes back in four days.
'April 9.

He came back to-day.

Such a gay and happy evening.

When he saw what I had done, he took both my hands, and kissed them impetuously.
"Eleanor, my queen of cousins!" And now we shall be at the villa directly.
And there will be no interruption.
