- July 18 Sunday Got up & helped Harry with washing-up, and prepared the stove-fire and put in the roast. But was then driven back to bed with intense toothache & neuralgia: the toothache apparently from a tooth behind the one Trace has been attending to. Aspirins, hot bottle; gravy on bread for lunch. Managed to write 4 pages of Ghost before it got too bad. Mr. Trace consented to see me at 5. Found an abscess under the other tooth, an eye tooth. Got an anaesthetist to gas me & removed most of it with difficulty. It was rotten & fast in the bonebone. Afterwards I wept & went home to bed: removed a piece of casing with a forceps & felt better. I said, on coming out of the anaesthetic that the way wisdom teeth were fitted into the mouth made one a Manichean, sceptical of a wise Personal benevolent God. Finished Chapter 7 of Ghost .
