About a fortnight later the Crommelyncks generously return my invitation by asking me to dinner in their elegant apartment on rue de Grenelle. I accept without thinking much about it, but I am impressed by their stylish hospitality, and even more by the fact that their only other guest is Catherine Deneuve, a childhood friend of Aldo’s wife. Much as I try to disguise it, I go from being relaxed and matter-of-fact to rigidly self-conscious. But if I hadn’t known I was dining with a famous actress, whom everyone now associates with Buñuel’s Belle de Jour, I would have simply thought how lucky I was to be in a tête-à-tête with such a gorgeous woman, who ate and laughed and drank and smoked with such natural abandon that I might even have been tempted to try my luck.
