Alixe Van Kuyp sat in the first-tier box presented to her husband with
the accustomed heavy courtesy of the Societe Harmonique. She went early

Weber overture and a Beethoven symphony, an unusual honour for a young

affectation, she reasoned. Her husband kept within doors; she could tell
him all. And then, was there not Elvard Rentgen?
She regretted that she had invited the Parisian critic to her box.
