This remark was made five minutes after a German air-lieutenant had flown over the roof of the houses in my street, Rue Theodule-Ribot, and had dropped near the Parc Monceau a bomb that made a terrific noise, but did no damage. Thursday, September 3. Thirty-second day of the war. Dazzling sunshine, cloudless sky, and light northeasterly wind. Thermometer at five P.M. 27 degrees centigrade.
After dropping the three bombs and his carte de visite, the German aeroplane vanished towards the east. It seems strange that the flotillas of air-craft at Buc were thus caught napping and allowed the German air-lieutenant to escape. I called in the afternoon upon Madame Waddington and her sister, Miss King.
Another German air-lieutenant made a flight over Paris this afternoon and dropped two bombs near the Notre Dame Cathedral, but caused no damage; one of the projectiles fell into the Seine. The airman also tossed into Paris a German flag, to which was tied a postal card calling upon Paris to surrender.
