Diary References

1874

• January 21: Marie compares Count Markoff's unexpected visit to "la visite d'adieu du pauvre Abramovitch" (poor Abramovitch's farewell visit). The comparison makes her uncomfortable about receiving Markoff alone.

Context

• "Pauvre" (poor) suggests either death or departure
• Farewell visit implies he left Nice or died
• Used as reference point for inappropriate male visits
• Shows social protocols about receiving men alone
