Explore "Mademoiselle Pearl" by Guy De Maupassant on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Every year I went to eat my Twelfth Night dinner at the house of my old friend Chantal. My father, whose most intimate friend he was, had taken me there when I was a child. I had continued the custom, and I shall doubtless continue it as long as I live, and as long as there is a Chantal left in the world.
