I went through it to go to Switzerland, and I read "in a sheet" that you had been to see les Deux Orphelines, had taken a walk in the Bois de Boulogne, had dined at Magny's, etc.; all of which goes to prove that, thanks to the freedom of the Press, one is not master of one's own actions.
He had spies in the houses of the elder and younger Magny; but this you know, of course, from your experience of Continental customs. We had all spies over each other. We levied similar contributions on everybody in X , to amuse the dear old man. Monsieur de Magny's valet used to report both to me and Monsieur de Geldern.
I do not think that it is a success. I am better. Yet I am not bold enough to go to your house Saturday and to return from such a distance in this severe cold. I saw Theo this evening, I told him to come to dine with us both on Saturday at Magny's. Do say yes, it is I who invite you, and we shall have a quiet private room. After that we will smoke at my place.
Business calls me in any event. I shall dine at Magny's on that day, and the next, and the day after that. Now you know where to find me, for I think that you will come for the first performance. Yours always, with a full heart, G. Sand XXIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 23 October, 1866
If you can not come I shall have a thousand regrets, but then I am depending upon you Monday before dinner. Au revoir and thank you for the fraternal permission of dedication. G. Sand VIII. TO GEORGE SAND Paris, 17 or 18 May, 1866 Don't expect me at your house on Monday. I am obliged to go to Versailles on that day. But I shall be at Magny's. A thousand fond greetings from your G. Flaubert
You forget your troubadour who has just buried another friend! From the seven that we used to be at the beginning of the dinners at Magny's, we are only three now! I am gorged with coffins like an old cemetery! I am having enough of them, frankly. And in the midst of all that I keep on working! I finished yesterday, such as it is, the article on my poor Bouilhet.
We must then meet and see each other. Tell me what day except tomorrow, Wednesday, you can give me for dinner at Magny's or elsewhere with or without Plauchut, with whomever you wish provided I see you and embrace you. Your old comrade who loves you. G. Sand Dear good adored master,
He committed the inconceivable imprudence of bringing the emerald with him to X , and waited on Magny, who was provided by the Princess with money to redeem the pledge, and was actually ready to pay it. 'Their interview took place in Magny's own apartments, when his valet overheard every word of their conversation.
I send you back your handkerchief which you left in the carriage. It is surely tomorrow THURSDAY that we dine together? I have written to the big Marchal to come to Magny's too. Your troubadour G. Sand Wednesday morning. CXXVIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, Tuesday, 5 October, 1869 Where are you now, my dear troubadour?
The rest of the week will finish up Palaiseau, but Sunday if you like, I am free. Answer if you want Sunday at Magny's at half past six. Then Monday, I count on you, at half past six; but as I am going to Palaiseau, I may be a few minutes late or early. The first one at Magny's must wait for the other. Your troubadour Thursday evening, 20 May, 1869. CXX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, 29 May, 1869
