Gautier-Vignal is rather, how can I put it, more my book’s friend than mine. You would misunderstand me completely if you believed that I am intending to renounce in any way a creature who seems so utterly sensitive, sympathetic, and who was so kind (and is remarkably intelligent). But what I mean is that I have only known him for a short time and not very well. This does not prevent us from having affection for one another, I hold him to be the most diligent and understanding reader and he has, on many occasions, obliged and charmed me. He, too, is quite unwell.
