To-day I have done nothing as yet; I have been getting settled. I have made the acquaintance of the locality and of the doctor. Chatel-Guyon consists of a stream in which flows yellow water, in the midst of several hillocks on which are a casino, some houses, and some stone crosses.
I led them a merry life, but I foresaw that as soon as M. de Bernis decided to let M M know that he would not return to Venice, he would recall his people, and we should then have the casino no longer.
