茶花女 Camille
Chapter 1
IT is my considered view that no one can invent fictional characters without first having made a lengthy study of people, just as it is impossible for anyone to speak a language that has not been properly mastered.
Since I am not yet of an age to invent, I must make do with telling a tale.
I therefore invite the reader to believe that this story is true. All the characters who appear in it, with the exception of the heroine, are still living.
I would further add that there are reliable witnesses in Paris for most of the particulars which I bring together here, and they could vouch for their accuracy should my word not be enough.

The following day, I directed my steps towards 9 rue dAntin.
It was early, and yet a good crowd of visitors had already gathered in the apartment — men for the most part, but also a number of ladies who, though dressed in velvet and wearing Indian shawls, and all with their own elegant broughams standing at the door, were examining the riches set out before them with astonished, even admiring eyes.
After a while, I quite saw
