- Ap 19 Wednesday At 4 am the car came: we had not slept at all. Ham & bread & butter at 3.30. (Alan Beryl & Dorothy go off at 8 am, to Paris; to see Dolors & Joan ) Nono very sweet. We did not sleep in the car, except that I dozed now & then, and passed Calvados by light; coffee St Hilaire. We had breakfast at Caen with Priour: beautiful sun and children going to school. Zephyrous country & lights – heavy frost on fields – one part of half-timber and slate. At Pont something – the ferry over the Seine we stopped for coffee & I bought a paper – first news of Paris being burned. We phoned American Express: baggage reported safe. Havre via Harfleur – the bull-ring gone from the hill. Hotel Bordeaux . A charming walk to buy such things as slippers, a compact, a wicker basket. Laura very tired. Sent off cable of reassurance.
