- Aug 26 Friday. We are glad that Modeste is going, but she is sad and doing exceptionally good cookings – the best baked custard ever, for example. Dictionary all day – a lovely day for weather. Anita is pretty sick and can't decide whether or not to keep the child. We heard from Joan Junyer. A remarkable log on Laura's fire – very light, in weight, somewhat ivied. We kept pieces of it for luck. Nono is becoming a nice cat. Laura struggling with David over sentences in his Furniture – description difficult without diagram. At darts I get worse & worse. * The chief thing today was Norman's writing he could not continue as Protocol secretary: which means, practically, an end of working relations.
