Confess that Paris affords us a hundred delightful pleasures which are not to be found elsewhere. The provinces are a desert in comparison. How do you pass your time? (SGAN: On my own business.) The mind demands relaxation, and occasionally gives way, by too close attention to serious occupations. What do you do in the evening before going to bed? (SGAN: What I please.) Doubtless no one could speak better. The answer is just, and it seems to be common sense to resolve never to do what does not please us. If I did not think you were too much occupied, I would drop in on you sometimes after supper.
