- Jan 29 Saturday. Alan & Beryl married today. Papa Pritchard very rude to Alan (not a word) & Mama told her she was throwing her life away. Laura did Chapter 16 last night. I went over it in morning. In afternoon bought artificial flower posies in Kilburn for 6d in a second hand shop. Margaret & Montague & Dorothy Simmonds to supper. Then to Alan & Beryl's party at Adelaide Road. Present: Alan, Beryl, Laura, me, Karl, Montagu & Dorothy, Ward & Dorothy, Harry & Alix, Kenneth Allott & Kumari – he spoke to me not to Laura, a horde of undistinguished friends of Beryl's. It was a bottle party; gramophone music but no dancing. The elements did not mix. Laura suggested the thread game, which was played (a tiny stout dentist German Jewish called Bergman competed) and marbles and pitch & toss, which I organized. (I won 12 halfpennies at pitch & toss.) Dorothy & Montague returned early with us and we talked about the use of sculpture: the making of household gods.
