Summary
Initially refusing to use the familiar "tu" because he thinks this kind of familiarity is only for friendships between people of the same sex, but says then it is ok to use the "tu" with an occasional lover; referring to her hold over him; telling her he loves her because she has no common sense; noting that he will read tonight the letter he just received from her.
