- Aug 6 Sat. To Rennes by car (le patron driving) and did the week's shopping while Laura tussled with police. and behaved with indignation – quite successfully – i.e. when they wanted 3 francs 50 (and they had doubted her financial standing) she asked change for a 1000 francs note. I bought a blue oil-lamp & shade for 10francs (about 1/3d ) in the market & a brown holder for pens & things on my desk. Spent 1 hour filling in forms for 2nd time for a silver box sent me from someone in Ireland – I don't know who. In evening we all went to Montauban and sat outside Hotel d'Ouest while the Curé 's orchestra went past with lanterns drums & bugles – and people threw squibs at each other. Crab & melon for supper.
