Transcript

• Dec 6 Tuesday Laura not feeling well: had hardly any lunch. We I went to Montfort with Alan, Dorothy, Leonie, Marie, by car, for the St Nicholas fair and bought toys for Christmas and a few household things – also a box-wood butter-spoon & ten soldiers and a cake with Vive St Nicholas on it. Saw a bantam hen, roundabouts, and two ballad-stalls at one of which a man wearing horns sang about cuckold. Dictionary & Ghost Chapter XI
