For the next meeting we will read up to page 204 of Volume IV, Sodom and Gomorrah, in the Modern Library (Moncrieff/Kilmartin/Enright) edition.
This takes us to the Narrator's arrival in Balbec for the second time.
There is a heading -- all in capital letters -- at the top of this page, which should make it easy to find in other translations and editions, as well as in the original French.
The heading is:
THE INTERMITTENCIES OF THE HEART
The sentence that precedes it is:
"This tinkle brought my enthusiasm to its peak, but seemed to me too humble a matter for me to be able to explain it to Mme de Montmorency, with the result that she invariably saw me in a state of rapture of which she never guessed the cause."
The sentence that follows is:
"My second arrival at Balbec was very different from the first."
Happy reading!
En Français, lire jusqu'à:
LES INTERMITTENCES DU COEUR
Ma seconde arrivée à Balbec fut bien différente de la première.
