"The cup and saucer are Wedgewood; and the only one of its kind in the world."

"The real name of the man who is called Paul in my 2 vols was Maurice. When you get BR's letters to me, you'll find many mentions of Maurice. BR was more jealous of him than of any other man. In one of BR's (1949) letters to me you'll find the phrase 'I shall never again live with any woman. I don't seem able to make a success of it.' Hardly had he written so, than he married Edith Finch. BR never liked to speak of the man who fathered Dora's baby in the Russell marriage. He never told me his name and I still don't know it."

Colette describes her last meetings with BR: shortly after Easter 1949.
