Transcript
  • Jan 19 Thursday Alan & Beryl & Dorothy went with Montague to St Malo & said goodbye (also to get a block of Cuban mahogany from the Customs which had been held there on suspicion of its containing drugs) while Madmoiselle Perou & I stopped off at Dinant (Market day; sun; everything very charming) & ate at Hotel Marguerite. Saw S.Sauveur's church (better outside than in) & a queer assortment of people walking around it: the relatives of the inmates of the local Lunatic Asylum. To Mr Henry Elliott an Englishman of 78 who only talked French in the Rue Pasteur. He is a 'Maître-Masseur' with a large clientele. He clicked back two tendons for me: knee & small of back. Charged 20 francs: I gave him 50 francs.
