four in the afternoon
I have entered the lists with Mmes . d'Espard and de Maufrigneuse , and with the old Duchesse de Lenoncourt , and my house has the reputation of being a very lively one . I allowed myself to become the fashion , because I saw how much pleasure my success gave Felipe . My mornings are his ; from four in the afternoon till two in the morning I belong to Paris . Macumer makes an admirable host , witty and dignified , perfect in courtesy , and with an air of real distinction . No woman could help loving such a husband even if she had chosen him without consulting her heart . My father and mother have left for Madrid .
