- May 7 Saturday. A lazy day. Did a lot of phoning: went twice to the street market and bought a large coffee pot 6d , a tea-pot stand 1d, a holly-patterned sugar bowl 1/-, a yellow & blue crochetted silk purse 6d, a Russian easter-egg 1/6d, a silver gilt brooch 6d, another cup & saucer 3d. David Reeves in afternoon. Laura & I saw him off at Marylebone Station & walked back in the bitter wind. After supper Julian Symons came to talk to Laura about an American number of his 20th Century Verse: Laura went over a poem of his with him. It was the first time he had been subjected to literal criticism of his poems & he behaved very decently.
