Lunched at the Cercle Artistique et Litteraire, Rue Volney. Only the old servants remain. The club is no longer open to non-member dinner guests.

Candeille and Chauvelin had since then met at the "Cercle des Jacobins Francais" in Soho Street, and now fair Desiree found herself in lodgings in Richmond, the evening of the day following the Gala, feeling that her luck had not altogether deserted her. One conversation with Citizen Chauvelin had brought the fickle jade back to Demoiselle Candeilles' service.
It was Lord Mount Edgcumbe who first suggested that as there was an afternoon dance that day at the Cercle Nautique de la Mediterranee, they should all adjourn to the club and dance vigorously, just to show what sturdy, hard-bitten dogs they were, to whom a strenuous three-mile pull in a heavy sea was a mere trifle, even though some of them were forty years old.

November 26th. DEAR M., A very embarrassing thing happened to me this morning. We thought we could manage an excursion to the town. I wanted to see the Cathedral, and it did not seem far away.
No entente cordiale could ever be cemented after that lingual blast. The consuls all had honorary memberships in the Cercle Militaire, and none of them entered the Cercle Bougainville, it not being de rigueur.
"I was going to the Cercle Anglais," the Baron answered. "Do you belong?" "I am up for a month's membership, but I am not elected yet," Duncombe answered.
