Tuesday—we had school for the first time. Madame O’Malley had a moment of silence at the beginning of French class, a class that was always punctuated with long moments of silence, and then asked us how we were feeling. “Awful,” a girl said. “En français,” Madame O’Malley replied. “En français.

The library of my elementary school had this great biography section, and I read all of these paperback biographies until they were dog-eared. The story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Madame Curie and Martin Luther King and George Washington Carver and on and on and on.

Rodin picks a mushroom delighted, and shows it to Madame Rodin... Look, he says excitedly, and that takes but a single night! In one night all these are made, all these lamellas. That is good work.

I have been reading Madame Roland's memoirs and have come to the conclusion that she was a very over-rated woman snobbish, vain, sentimental, envious - rather a German type.
