his eyes and plays at me, the court ladies all get up and move their chairs out of his way
just as though he were a somnambulist--
I leave here Wednesday and reach Paris Friday MORNING the eleventh-- You must try
to meet me at the Cafe de la Paix at half past nine-- Wait in the corner room if you don't
wish to sit outside and as soon as I get washed I will join you for coffee. It will be fine to
see you again and to be done with jumping about from hotel to hotel and to be able to
read the signs and to know how to ask for food. Russian, German and Hungarian have
made French seem like my mother tongue--
