- Nov 4 Friday Laura up to 4.30 last night, 3 the night before, 3 night before. Dorothy, Beryl, Alan to Rennes. Dorothy to buy carving wood – no success. The others bought household things – took in my watch, Laura's green Majorcan brooch & my Marnius Aquellius brooch to repair. Copied out and revised dictionary lists. Marie polishing all the floors – first time since we came here that this was really well done – & brass & windows also cleaned. Went to Montauban in the car that had brought Dorothy's carving bench – both drunk. The driver made very cautious & correct by drink his copain gloriously elevated. Ordered new mattress & pillows. Accounts: an hour spent over tracing 40 franc deficit in the Rennes buyings.
