Dite Hester, prostitute who shared the last moments of Verlaine's life.
"Don't fear women. Besides, London brought me bad luck twenty years ago in this respect. And then I love you too much.
And you be wise and don't create anarchy in our little household, which would be so good otherwise, you so happy queen and me earning money for you and not for others.
How hard it is to be without you, jealous as I am! ... Your old man who loves you more than himself" ...
