- Oct 16 Sunday Alan's birthday. Dictionary Alan did not realize that a big party was being arranged for him in the evening in the Chapel: which we had converted into a sort of Bower with bracken, Spanish chestnut shoots, boughs with apples, holly, vine, and a collection of frightful fungus. We had supper with a big table, covered with food & strewn with sweets, and extemporized a play in which Dorothy could somehow not join. But just before I had left the a lamp smoking in Laura's dressing room and this, and, the washroom & L's bedroom was covered with a thick layer of smuts, with black cobwebs festooned from ceilings – like a picture of a miser's den. I worked until 3.15 cleaning while Laura did Aristotle.
