"Papa, dear. I shouldn't know you, you're getting dissipated. When are you going to take me with you?" The artist excused himself seriously.
Heated by dancing, in a dress-coat, with a thin white necktie, I went out into the night air. It was cold, and, violently as I pounded on the door of the Schonhutte, no one opened it.

What I wrote up above, yesterday, is nonsense. I think his Christian name is perfect. I like London. I love everybody. He came to dinner to-day. I sat next to him. How beautiful a dress-coat is, and a white cravat!
