Refugees from Spain hide in Paris.
Anais Nin begins work on her houseboat story. She can write endlessly about the river.
Anais establishes order in her life to combat the chaos of the world. When she is able to easily find her clothes, shoes, makeup, she feels free to dream. Disorder leads to wasting time looking for stockings, books, perfume. Anais does realize, however, that extreme orderliness leads to paralysis, and she avoids this so that she can continue living.
She sleeps late, she copies her diary, she cooks lunch for one lover and dinner for another. She writes for a few hours then gets restless for adventure, escape. She travels in the subway and in buses, eats leftovers, wears stockings with holes. She lives her life intensely as if it could end at any moment.
