Excerpt from Business and Love
It is just four days since I left Paris. In another three or four days, unless we break a screw or are run down by a ship en route we shall land in New York. I shall don once more my evening clothes and my white cravat. Thanks to the rapidity of modern travel, I can almost fancy that I have only been taking a prolonged nap between two evening entertainments. To sleep and to dream - I find nothing better than this, as the little curtains of my berth swing back and forth on the iron rod, and every few seconds a wave, a big winter wave, dense and black, dashes against the port-hole and plunges the cabin into darkness.
With my eyes thus half shut, I invoke among my memories the last evening spent in Paris.
