"Since you're willing to plaster yourself all over my poor big daddy of a son, be punished where you've sinned! I give him to you!"... April 14, 1891. There's no question of the boys going out alone at night...

Chabrier expresses his joy at finding his son Marcel: "I embraced him like a fool"... Then, about his work on Briséis: "I'm getting fed up with grumbling all the time; I was going round in circles, I wasn't changing anything, people were taking an excellent man for the antichrist, ah! it's bothering me [...] La Membrolle and the horrible weather there, don't you think I'm going to be able to do anything about it? La Membrolle, with its horrible weather, is not Mohammed's Paradise, but what can I say, I work there quietly and Paris wears me out"...

I'll probably have a little thrill going in! December 30, 1893 [letter written by Alice Chabrier, signed by herself and Chabrier], after the premiere of Gwendoline at the Opéra (December 27): "Yesterday's evening was quite decisive: even greater success"... Attached is a bill a.s. in pencil, February 19, 1891 (1 p. in -8, envelope), to Robert Brussel.
