- Tuesday Nov 3. To Rusby's for hair. To Caledonian market: rain, almost nobody there. Bought Georgian crystal buckle-brooch 12/6, Georgian gold ring with garnets & three bad emeralds 12/6, Lambeth tobacco jar 4/-. Lunch at The “Nag”. In afternoon wrote a long letter to L.H. [*] Joyce Reeves came: & did not know her grandmother was dead: Grief & consternation because she had been away at a false address. Gerald Gould died – the only two bad reviews by him in News Chronicle & Observer Dinner with Rebecca West & Henry Andrews, Tom, Julie, Laura [*]at Boulestins. Woodcock (10/6 a go) Clos du Tart (red Burgundy,) figues flambées . Then to their flat at Orchard Court: where Ralph Isham came, mad as a hatter, talking fascism. I swung him round a pivot: appealing to his Anglo-Saxon faith in morale natural as opposed to Dago morale. He talked Lawrence & Boswell in maitre d'hotel accent. Laura said “American top to his face, false European jaw.” Laura wore red & gold turban, Julie's dress, the crystal buckle brooch on red silk.
