So I wore the imitation of a diamond tiara to the Foley Bergere. I mean
it really would deceeve an expert and Louie and Robber could hardly
take their eyes off of it. But they did not really annoy me because I
had it tied on very very tight. I mean it would be fatal if they got
the diamond tiara before Dorothy and I took them shopping a lot.
So we are all ready to go shopping this morning and Robber was here
bright and early and he is in the parlor with Dorothy and we are
waiting for Louie. So I left the daimond tiara on the table in the
parlor so Robber could see how careless I really am with everything but
Dorothy is keeping her eye on Robber. So I just heard Louie come in
because I heard him kissing Robber. I mean Louie is always kissing
Robber and Dorothy told Louie that if he did not stop kissing Robber,
people would think that he painted batiks.
So now I must join the others and I will put the diamond tiara in my
hand bag so that Louie and Robber will feel that it is always around
and we will all go shopping. And I almost have to smile when I think of
Lady Francis Beekman.
May 3rd:
Yesterday was really delightful. I mean Louie and Robber bought Dorothy
and I some delightful presents. But then they began to run out of all
the franks they had with them, so they began to get discouradged but
just as soon as they began to get discouradged, I gave Robber my hand
bag to hold while I went to the fitting room to try on a blouse. So he
was cheered up quite a lot, but of course Dorothy stayed with them and
kept her eye on Robber so he did not get a chance. But it really
cheered him up quite a lot to even hold it.
So after all their franks were gone, Robber said he would have to
telephone to some one, so I suppose he telephoned to Lady Francis
Beekman and she must have said All right because Robber left us at a
place called the Cafe de la Paix because he had to go on an errand and
when he came back from his errand he seemed to have quite a lot more
franks. So then they took us to luncheon so that after luncheon we
could go out shopping some more.
But I am really learning quite a lot of French in spite of everything.
I mean if you want delicious chicken and peas for luncheon all you have
to say is “pettypas” and “pulle.” I mean French is really very easy,
for instance the French use the word “sheik” for everything, while we
only seem to use it for gentlemen when they seem to resemble Rudolf
Valentino.
