Went to a concert to night as I thought but they were puppets, automates – who played the violin, base, flute, harpsichord, organ etc – a better kind of puppet show tho’ a worse kind of concert. I did not like it well enough to stay long but went to the Mareshal Ferrant – neither Caillot nor la Ruette sung – and it went off but flat – and more over I detest that mixture of old vaudevilles with Philidor’s Italian plunder.
