"A woman does not mask her love of balls (!!!), horse races, even gambling...but never try to make her say that she loves high society." But about men; "Your creditors are harassing you, your infidelities are driving your wife to despair... you listen to Wagner only when burning Chinese Cinnamon.,.yet your are an honorable man." Well, Proust takes aim at all. And who ever heard of opium called Chinese cinnamon?

I have just one more volume of "In Search of Lost Time" and am so eager, yet reluctant, to finish it: it's one of the great reading experiences of a lifetime. So meanwhile, I'm going to slowly, very slowly indulge myself with a once-a week short story from this volume.
