So then we had quite a delightful evening. I mean because we all seem
to understand one another because, after all, Dorothy and I could
really have a platonick friendship with gentlemen like Louie and
Robber. I mean there seems to be something common between us,
especially when we all get to thinking about Lady Francis Beekman.
So they are going to charge Lady Francis Beekman quite a lot of money
when they give her the imitation of a diamond tiara and I told Robber
if she seems to complane, to ask her, if she knew that Sir Francis
Beekman sent me 10 pounds worth of orchids every day while we were in
London. So that would make her so angry that she would be glad to pay
almost anything to get the diamond tiara.
So when Lady Francis Beekman pays them all the money, Louie and Robber
are going to give us a dinner in our honor at Ciros. So when Mr. Eisman
gets here on Saturday, Dorothy and I are going to make Mr. Eisman give
Louie and Robber a dinner in their honor at Ciros because of the way
they helped us when we were two American girls all alone in Paris and
could not even speak the French landguage.
So Louie and Robber asked us to come to a party at their sister’s house
today but Dorothy says we had better not go because it is raining and
we both have brand new umbrellas that are quite cute and Dorothy says
she would not think of leaving a brand new umbrella in a French lady’s
hall and it is no fun to hang on to an umbrella all the time you are at
a party. So we had better be on the safe side and stay away. So we
called up Louie and told him we had a headache but we thanked him for
all of his hospitality. Because it is the way all the French people
like Louie and Robber are so hospitable to we Americans that really
makes Paris so devine.
CHAPTER FIVE
THE CENTRAL OF EUROPE
May 16th:
I really have not written in my diary for quite a long time, because
Mr. Eisman arrived in Paris and when Mr. Eisman is in Paris we really
do not seem to do practically anything else but the same thing.
I mean we go shopping and we go to a show and we go to Momart and when
a girl is always going with Mr. Eisman nothing practically happens. And
I did not even bother to learn any more French because I always seem to
think it is better to leave French to those that can not do anything
else but talk French. So finally Mr. Eisman seemed to lose quite a lot
of interest in all of my shopping. So he heard about a button factory
that was for sale quite cheaply in Vienna and as Mr. Eisman is in the
button profession, he thought it would be a quite good thing to have a
button factory in Vienna so he went to Vienna and he said he did not
care if he did not ever see the rue de la Paix again. So he said if he
thought Vienna would be good for a girl’s brains, he would send for
Dorothy and I and we could meet him at Vienna and learn something.
Because Mr. Eisman really wants me to get educated more than anything
else, especially shopping.
