Tuesday, December 26:
R. had a good night’s rest, but he is upset by not receiving an answer from Boni, even after my inquiry - he wonders whether his gift has arrived. Also the nonarrival of a Worth gown for me annoys him, and his overhastiness in summoning Humperdinck here (he is not to be engaged because of patriotic indignation in connection with Oberdank) embarrasses him. Whist in the evening.
