Artists' dinner parties were one of the few places politics was unlikely to find me. (Though it is true that many of the politicians thought they were artists and many of the artists thought they were politicians.)
Ah, I wish your typist has a pleasant journey. Not only my own typist would be interested in this play. Personally I don't see why you let her, write a play that is. You've shown ample proof enough that whenever anyone tries to dedicate a statue/train station/picture with a scarf to you something seems to be incredibly wrong with it. I'm surprised you are not trying to board her in her room as a type.
As for myself I assure you, as if you need it, that Paris is a beautiful city. I lived there myself for several years after I quit school decided to widen my opportunities. I worked for the Edison Paris Company improving the machinery over there.
Very friendly people the French although truthfully I fear for your typist. An acquaintance of mine, maybe this is not so with the changing times, warned me not to wander into Montparnasse at night. My typist agrees but she says not for the same reasons that he was thinking and than laughs again.
Is that the impression I give? My most profound apologies. I enjoy (well, am slightly unseattled by, but in a very non-specific way) most of the tributes I've bumped into while trying determinedly to look the other way. It's just the things like the Didot station and the statue of me where I look like I'm on the ground, dying that, ahem, seemed worth at least mentioning. (Her play is admirably tolerable, all things considered.)
You lived in Paris? I didn't know that! We might have been there around the same time. Montparnasse was my favorite neighborhood. Did you heed your friend's warning and not go there?

Oh yes, I know that one well. Artists' dinner parties, not so much.
