"The next day we dined at Mrs de Rothschild's, and met Baron and Baroness Brunnow, the Austrian Ambassador and his wife, Lady Pellew and her daughter Lady Walpole, and many other distinguished persons.

Found capital place for studying boats not far from the Pont d'Iena." "Went round by Bois to Rothschild's, till I came to bridge of St. Cloud and to the house lovely play of lights on the water and upon the heights." "In afternoon rode as far as Argenteuil, and saw Texier's boat-building establishment there, and the fleet of pleasure-boats."

Thenceforth her life was a battle; a constant rowing hard against the stream of popular prejudice and hatred.
