- ↑ See Grasset's letter of 22 May [19]19 (CP 03779; Kolb, XVIII, no. 98). Proust misrepresented the words of his old editor by claiming that he was asking him for a "first extract from [his] book." No doubt he was trying to put pressure on Gallimard by suggesting that in the case of an extended delay he could well give Grasset some long unpublished extracts from À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs.
