- July 10 Friday Saturday We have a maid called Alice Mace. With her help the house was tidied & everything is now settled. L insisted on my sleeping staying in bed all day. Rewrote Pygmalion to Galatea & wrote another poem about them. Marble games with Harry in evening – ( tiddlewink game); and taking by hopping (one's own & others) with houghing : who survives with most wins. Harry killed a rabbit with a stick, a small one, & felt bad about it. Read a Wodehouse golfing book: Heart of a Goof . Laura put up new curtains. My bed-workroom is pleasant now with all my things: British Columbia gloves, Solomon picture, map of Spain, 'pool near school' on wall; work-table lined with brown paper & my Swiss pewter tray-plate & marble (Caracallas baths) paper weight and pewter cigarette case, & my refugee toys – Jens Jenson pin cushion, french dower trunk lock & key, the N.N. dogs etc. My patchwork quilt (the triangle-cut one) on my bed. My ash chair with the rush bottom.
