Friday, June 28:
R. got up once but was on the whole content with his night’s sleep; in the morning he brings me some pretty material for a negligee which he has had sent for me. He rests, reads N., while I am giving the children their lessons. After lunch R. says: “If the French republic continues to give itself airs as it is doing, it will be a bad omen for the monarchy in Europe. For belief in it is already shattered.” In the evening a drive to the Fantaisie.
