The Duc asked if I had yet seen my aunt.
"I had forgotten her," I said.
"Oh, you must see her," he said; "she is a most remarkable lady.

She is one of my relaxations.

All Paris talks about her, I can assure you." "I had no idea," I said.
"Oh, cultivate her," he said; "you will be amused." "I will," I said, as I took my leave.
I went straight home to my little room above the roofs.

I began at once to write my article, working at high pressure, almost hysterically.

I remember that place and that time so well.
