  1. This passage was copied from Cahier 46, f. 81v and already featured in a clause about Maria in Cahier 64 at f. 82r (see the note by Antoine Compagnon, RTP, III, 1241-1242). So Proust's memo note in Cahier 64: "place here the phrase from the first volume tonality as if by means of some pedal the tonality of happiness" suggests a more important genetic precedence. Indeed we already find the passage, in a fuller form, at the end of the scene of Mama reading in "Combray". It features on two typed pages of the primitive typescript of 1909 (NAF 16733, "Second" typescript, f. 80r and 81r). For the definitive text in SG II, see RTP, III, 229. [NM]
