PARIS
November 19th.—We arrived at Paris in the afternoon and stopped as usual
at the Hôtel de Calais. It was very cold in our apartment and we had a
fire all day.
After dinner we went to the opera to see “Tannhauser.” I felt tired and
asked Sergy what was the time every minute. After the second act, he took
me out on to the boulevard to eat ices.
November 21st.—We had to get up very early in the morning to catch the
express. It was six o’clock when we drove to the Gare du Nord. There were
few people about. We only saw the milk-carts on their morning rounds, and
the street-sweepers at work.
Our long journey is nearing its end. In another two days we shall be back
in Russia.
