- July 11 Sunday. Three new drafts of Galatea & Pygmalion Toothache. Got up [handdrawn }] breakfast Did a good deal of housework. Harry & I invented two games of solitaire: one consisting of each trying to get two sets of marbles to opposite ends of the board moving or hopping over according to the lines marked on it, one [figure: sketch of marble gameboard] ; one consisting [figure: sketch of marble gameboard] of each trying by moves & hops to get his set of five marbles into the green enclosure: a rule – “once into the enclosure no moving backwards.” A car ride to Charterhouse where I visited Gownboy Hall (broken chairs, dirty room, pleasant boys spending a rowdy (wet) idle Sunday afternoon) & Mr Stokes, in Library, who recognized me at once. Tired out by bonfire clearance of rubbish. Supper in bed: finished draft of prose-account of my poems. Government take Albarracin, near Teruel and six towns near Brunete.
