- Sept 27, Friday. Almost Forgotten Times [Chapter] XXXIII, a part. Hutchinsons came, photographed Gelat; & two colour ones of me near Casa Siqui ; then took them past Salerosa to photograph some rain-channelled rocks, also an olive broken with age sprouting new with wild olive. Nice letter from Philip. Lot of housework with Isabel & Josefa gone. Did some Old Soldier Sahib adjustments. Car took us to Lluchalcari at 3. Talked awhile with Ferrar (first time Laura had met him) who showed us a view & was plainspoken about the Casa Siqui invertidos . Then to Junyers who were hospitable & showed us their curio-museum-house & then, (one at a time, Clothilde & Juan Joän reserved for future sessions) Sebastian's paintings — work of successive Springs & autumns, airy landscapes of Deyá; & Lluchalcari, some very good, especially one damp spring one taken from above near the Recó, & an upwards view of Lluchalcari in autumn. Tea with melon, almond cakes, mixed honey, & sherry with clinking salves and talk against the “wah-wah”, of Mallorquins which we resented. Walk home. I went alone to Sala & said goodbye to Leonora & her mother: & Marco privately begged me to persuade his father (as if I knew nothing about it) to let him continue at Barcelona University — he wanted to move him to Palma. I found Gelat (secretly prompted by Marcos's mother) had also been urging this & chipped in with arguments. Bernardo gave in. Reassuring letter to Gelat from his cousin in Madrid about the road. Laura up late, doing Troy battles according to Othryoncus
