>the lady (prostitute) in pink at Uncle Adolphe’s when the narrator visits him is supposed to be Odette de Crecy even though she was already married to Swann with a child and left the prostitute business behind at this time

Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 28 21:06:04 2023 No.22086877 Isn't it implied that she constantly cheats on Swann from day one? Not a blunder

Yeah, he discusses that in the comments and says he might be wrong. The thing though is that the lady in pink is there with a horse and carriage with red carnations which implies it might be some type of official capacity (brothel service) when even if she cheated on him in marriage, she definitely wasn’t doing it in an official way. Either way, he does raise a good point.
