- March 5th, Tuesday. In garden with Laura discussing plants. Checked and copied more of Emmie . Draft of Otmoor sequence for Antigua . Barn Shrove Tuesday supper at the Fábrica. Thrushes & chicken. Thrushes wrapped in cabbage. Champagne. Franciscito slightly drunk. The incident of the two boys who barged into a Laura on the way. I was out of it. A Son Beltran boy pushed 'Haciendo casas' against Laura who slapped his face; Carl then punched the real offender. Haciendo Casas(aged 15) wept for shame, and had to have his pardon begged and reassured it was not his fault. Agreed for the Fábrica to eat a kid at Canellun on Easter Sunday. Letter from Arthur Barker suggesting I should write a really great book about Christ & John Bapt. And from a German student whose thesis for a Philologue degree was R.G. as a critic of pre-War culture. Asking my opinion & also books. I wrote, very strongly, that I disliked the idea and would do nothing to further it.
