I hardly suffered at all during the opera; however, I supposed the pain would return as soon as I came out; but no! it left me from that time.

Ah! if physicians only understood the influence of the mind over the body, instead of treating, as they so often do, their patients like machines, and according to precedent! But I must pause here for to-day.

I bade adieu to Paris on the 25th of February, just as we had had one fine day.

It was the only one of really delightful weather, from morning till night, that I had to enjoy all the while I was at Paris, from the 13th of November till the 25th of February.

Let no one abuse our climate; even in winter it is delightful, compared to the Parisian winter of mud and mist.
This one day brought out the Parisian world in its gayest colors.

I never saw anything more animated or prettier, of the kind, than the promenade that day in the _Champs Elysees_.
