  1. Proust is not following the text of the Grasset proof sheet no. 42, col. 8 word for word here, and the quotation includes a phrase that is not printed in it: "Prenez donc encore un peu de ces petites saletés[-]là, c'est très bon" (Do try one of these little horrors, they are rather good actually). This is a fresh indication that the revision of the 1914 proofs was already well underway. At that time this passage (see RTP, I, 593) and the previous one (see RTP, I, 588-589) were still contiguous: Proust later moved it into an "insertion" of several pages. [NM]
