- Nov 16 Wednesday Same hot damp weather. Dictionary of Bible came & ditto Christian Biography – Alan had to lug them from Boisgervilly – a place I have never yet seen. Dictionary * Finished Castle : about 14,000 words David rang up from Paris. At Montauban Madame Perou and Alan & I had a talk. French poetry came up & I said it was like French jam – too sweet and without the taste of the fruit. She said: but like French jam, much clearer. I said yes, and insipid. She said 'Ah, but not Emile Zola!' Finished reading about the story of the Mutiny – the first book for some time – large print. * Government retired over Ebro: Anglo-Italian agreement signed.
