She treats me with an affectionate child's innocence, as if I were sexless.
My happiest time with her is spent in public places, restaurants, and theatres where her unclouded pleasure is reflected in my heart.
I am letting her take music lessons with Herr Stuer, who lives close by in the Avenue Road.

Perhaps music may help in her development.

To please her I am accustoming myself to this out-of-door life, which once I despised so cordially.

Pasquale has joined us two or three times.
Last night he gave a dinner in Carlotta's honour at the Continental.

The ladies of the party have asked her to go to see them.

She must have some society, I suppose, and I must go with her.
