[110] Victor Hugo's drawings. He was giving them away indiscriminately to his friends, and Juliette was jealous.
[111] Probably one of the poems commemorating the catastrophe of Villequier. They were collected and republished in _Les Contemplations_.
[112] Charles Hugo had lost his eldest son, Georges. He gave the same Christian name to the second, who, with Petite Jeanne, figures in _L'Art d'être Grand-père_.
[114] François Victor Hugo had just been given up by the doctors. His slow agony lasted eleven months.
[115] François Victor Hugo died in the course of the day.
[116] The anniversary of the death of Claire.
[117] The removal from _Hauteville Féerie_.

[122] Monsieur Eugène Planès possesses the original editions of _Chants du Crépuscule_, _Les Voix Intérieures_, _Les Rayons et les Ombres_, dedicated to Juliette and annotated by herself. He has been good enough to refer to them and verify our list in so far as the three following collections are concerned. We have included in the selection only the love-poems directly inspired by Juliette. We have left out the miscellaneous pieces which were dedicated to her after they were written, sometimes at her own request.
