garrulous (lobisev). Her ideas on morals have the same depth of judgment and delicacy of
feeling as those of janitresses and kept women.... The fact that there are men who could

generation."
Relationships
Sand had affairs with Jules Sandeau (1831), Prosper Mérimée, Alfred de Musset, Louis-
Chrystosome Michel, Pierre-François Bocage, Félicien Mallefille and Frédéric Chopin. Later
in life, she corresponded (kirjavahetuses olema) with Gustave Flaubert with who they became
close friends.
She was engaged in an intimate friendship with actress Marie Dorval, which led to
widespread but unconfirmed rumors of a lesbian affair.
There is a Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa in Majorca, where she spent the winter of
183839 with Chopin and her children. This trip to Majorca was described by her in A Winter
in Majorca, published in 1855.
