what does "in the person of"mean? "Mon cheri, what a beautiful day! How can I characterize such weather. One would have to do it in music. So much freshness, warmth, sweetness—who could describe all that?" Colette at Saint-Tropez during grape harvest; Colette the Taurean, with her terrace and the cicadas in her garden; Colette with something of a witch about her and dreadfully abrupt when faced with people who pleased her little—all this is expressed in a letter that she wrote in July 1933 to Maurice Goudeket, the man she had lived with for eight years and would marry two years later. A happy period for Colette. At age sixty, she had found a companion worthy of her and in him, according to her friend Marguerite Moreno, "the possibility of a lovely adventure and perhaps more than a lovely adventure." The time was also a happy one for Chanel, who evidently believed that finally, in the person of Paul Iribe, she had met the man of her life.
