- Aug 27 Saturday. Telegram from Bookguild Random House that Literary Guild have taken Belisarius : solves problem of money for children Wrote letters all day: nothing else Walk at night to Montauban via the lake and the Rennes road with Alan & David: typical male talk about war, moral, commanders in chief. David Alan & I invented darts game: up to 23; nothing under nine counts – inner ring of 6 counts 7 or 6 whichever – one must end exactly on 21. Dart in the door washes all out. One loses all that one fails of under 8. Huge dragon-fly and black ladybird visited us: the ladybird walking all over Laura. She cleared off all her letters.
