Diary Entry of August 3, 1873
On August 3, the father grants two more days, and the family thanks him warmly for attending despite their divided circle of friends. The day is quiet and serene, centered on family lunch, a drive with the children, and evening music. The atmosphere is intimate and restful after the ceremony.
Sunday, August 3:
My father gives us another two days. R. thanks him warmly for having come. He alone of all our friends was present; however divided, all were united on this simple, serene day!
Family lunch, then to the house. My father takes the children for a drive; in the evening, music.
