- March 14 Thursday Isabel working again but Laura not too good & self in bed all day. Kept temperature down with aconite. In the evening Laura also went to bed. Read an old-fashioned novel (The Great Skene Mystery) apparently written in 1900, very Dickensian; but preferable to the dreadful 1927 socialist-detective story by the Coles which I couldn't read more than a few pages of. Had a sudden desire for tea: which usually I don't drink. Then there was another book published in 1917 Nov. by William Le Queux called the Rascal Monk. It was all adjectives: incredible, verminous, unwashed, hypocritical, nameless, hypnotic. About Rasputin. One nice phrase: 'she eyed him with askance' Slept well.
