- July 8 Thursday I was up the whole day & even went for a 20 minutes walk with Laura to the village & back to look for a maid. Harry, Laura, Alix went to Guildford in a car & brought 2 tables for 22/6d the pair & jams from a retired Colonel who specializes in them at Ewhurst. I stayed at home. Mr. Burt, the gardener, is an ex-railwayman & a cyclist (51 years in the railway, now 67). Luggage came: unpacking. Letters: books to nurses at St. Mary's. Finished Mahon's Belisarius . Government success at Brunete. All sorts of negotiations going on, one feels, behind the scenes in Spain.
