NOTES
Notes

  1
Proust’s manuscript adds at this point: “Cruelty on the death of her father (copy from the note-book where it is described).”

  2
Legrandin has earlier been described in almost identical terms (see Vol. V,
The Fugitive
, pp. 904, 905).

  3
Another chronological inconsistency. Bergotte’s death was reported long before the marriage of Gilberte and Saint-Loup.

  4
From Victor Hugo’s
Les Contemplations.

  5
Quotation from Baudelaire’s
Le Balcon.

  6
“Le moi est haïssable” (Pascal).

  7
Eponymous hero of a novel by the Comtesse de Ségur.

  8
And yet the narrator does not meet her until more than 70 pages later, failing to recognise her at first (see
this page
).

  9
The remark occurs later: see preceding note.

10
This passage is also rather surprising, since Rachel has been identified several pages before. All such inconsistencies are attributable to Proust’s endless additions to his original text. He died before he had time to resolve the resulting confusions.
