- July 17th Saturday Messrs Pyke the agent recommended Mr. L. Trace a Cranleigh dentist: & he seems unusually good. Hopes to save the tooth: x-rayed it. for us Fortunately Alice Mace came & we engaged another woman for 2 hours a day. Rewrote a long-abandoned poem – ' Angry Samson ' – and did another 5 pages of Ghost , in spite of tooth still aching. Cooked bacon, potato, mushroom supper. Very stiff back. Then (Harry driving,) Laura, Alix, Beryl, Alan, Karl & I went in the car first to the 'Windmill' on Pitch Hill, then to Shere where there are deaf white cats one of which was sitting on the church porch roof among bats – and a Barn Theatre mostly given over to chambering & wantoness. The road to Shere is through a nutwood-covered tunnel – like a Russian sap.
