- Nov 17 Thursday Alan & I realize that there are not many thousands of words left to group for Dictionary – perhaps another 6 weeks. Going over The Castle again, now called The Castle-Keeper , and putting it into chapters. Plague of fleas. Juan came early to hunt with Monsieur Fauxchou. They toiled all day for 2 rabbits & a hare: he gave us the hare. Anita rang up that her pregnancy test was negative – which suggests a growth. So Juan went back to her as soon as he came in. He brought back my watch, mended, and Laura's green glass Majorcan brooch & my Marius Aquillius are mended. David, from Paris, brought a few cigarettes only, not enough and chocolate beans, rum, Eno's etc. Alan went to the village had 2 Pernods , fell off bicycle & cut his cheek, was given Calvados , then drank wine & rum. Was very sick. The cats bathed by Beryl & Dorothy.
