- March 16 Tuesday Jenny's lungs reported better. The McCormacks took us in car for a day's visit to Italy – round Lugano, past Lake Piano to Lake Como. Lunch at Cadenabbia decoyed by a nasty little boy into an expensive restaurant where we waited an hour, then by rowing boat across to Bellagio (tourist & embroidring embroidering centre) when I bought a silver peasant hair-pin for 12 lira – as a paper knife. We passed Villas Carlotta & D'Este but did not go in, had coffees & beers in Como, & back by Chiasso. Italy lovely, but the Duce's apothegms stencilled or engraved everywhere. Much trouble at customs. Laura had a headache. (Today in Libya M proclaimed himself Protector of Islam – against English & French oppression).
