Transcript
  • Sept 5 Monday A bad day: day of Nürnberg congress. All French officers on leave recalled to garrisons, & all Rennes & Montauban talking of war. Jeannine (Anita says) afraid of being killed. A rumour in Montauban that we were going too. Montauban has elected its first left deputy. The streets were full of feathers, symbolic of plucking 'the Chouans'. Went over Laura's proofs with her; and Alan. Fires all day. Got mushrooms in neighbouring fields: but not enough rain lately.
