morands

Updated: April 30, 2025

In the evening we receive our friends at the château the vicar, the Morands, father and son, and, twice a week, the notary. We play whist at penny points, and very lively games of piquet only the latter not so often, as my uncle cheats at it. About eleven o'clock the carriages are got ready to take these people home.
