and get some delightful presents that would even seem more delightful
when we stopped to realize that Lady Francis Beekman paid for them. And
it would teach Lady Francis Beekman a lesson not to say what she said
to two American girls like I and Dorothy, who were all alone in Paris
and had no gentleman to protect them.
So when I got through telling Dorothy what I thought up, Dorothy looked
at me and looked at me and she really said she thought my brains were a
miracle. I mean she said my brains reminded her of a radio because you
listen to it for days and days and you get discouradged and just when
you are getting ready to smash it, something comes out that is a
masterpiece.
So then Louie called us up so Dorothy told him that we thought it would
be delightful if he and Robber would take us out shopping tomorrow
morning. So then Louie asked his papa and his papa said they would. So
then they asked us if we would like to go to see a play called The
Foley Bergere tonight. So he said that all of the French people who
live in Paris are always delighted to have some Americans, so it will
give them an excuse to go to the Foley Bergere. So we said we would go.
So now Dorothy and I are going out shopping to buy the imitation of a
diamond tiara and we are going out window shopping to pick out where we
would like Louie and Robber to take us shopping tomorrow.
So I really think that everything always works out for the best.
Because after all, we really need some gentlemen to take us around
until Mr. Eisman gets to Paris and we could not go around with any
really attractive gentlemen because Mr. Eisman only wants me to go out
with gentlemen that have brains. So I said to Dorothy that, even if
Louie and Robber do not look so full of brains, we could tell Mr.
Eisman that all we were learning from them was French. So even if I
have not seemed to learn French yet, I have really almost learned to
understand Robbers english so when Robber talks in front of Mr. Eisman
and I seem to understand what he is saying, Mr. Eisman will probably
think I know French.
May 2nd:
So last night we went to the Foley Bergere and it really was devine. I
mean it was very very artistic because it had girls in it that were in
the nude. So one of the girls was a friend of Louie and he said that
she was a very very nice girl, and that she was only 18 years of age.
So Dorothy said, “She is slipping it over on you Louie, because how
could a girl get such dirty knees in only 18 years?” So Louie and
Robber really laughed very very loud. I mean Dorothy was very unrefined
at the Foley Bergere. But I always think that when girls are in the
nude it is very artistic and if you have artistic thoughts you think it
is beautiful and I really would not laugh in an artistic place like the
Foley Bergere.
