Gautier-Vignal is rather, how would I say, more my book’s friend than mine. You would understand me very badly if you believed that I am intending to renounce in any way a being who seems entirely delicate, sympathetic, and who was so kind (and is remarkably intelligent). But I mean that I know little of him and only for a short time. 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.
