- Oct 7 Monday. Turbines again. Went to Palma, dropping Magdalena at Valldemossa, who left without a proper goodbye & 1/2 a month's pay — having at the last moment repented & blamed it on a cold — but no! Raining hard, but later cleared up. Cashed pension cheque rapidly (because of the rain) & also got 26% (375 pesetas) from Credito Balear & a certificate about the rest. Bought a coral necklace for Laura to make up for one given to Isabel. Silk stuff for blue shirt. Various old cotton handkerchiefs at Margaritas & two blue plates horse & flowers; & peasant woman & salmonetes. Decided against dragon picture. Laura found a decent umbrella shop at last in the Jaime II. Bought Karl a hat. Laura got a pair of pig-skin shoes, cheap — made to measure by a foreign woman & then abandoned. Official 'fallo' of water-case. Visit to Schwarz and Strenge 's new flat by the Taberna Vasca . He gave Laura a beautiful emerald-matrix silver-gilt ring, in an old shagreen ring-box. Sabater gentle and offered to reprint first page with corrections: L. offered to share the expense. He will send the stuff off to Constables. Bought blue filing cases. Talk of getting a Jewish girl, whom Karl knows, a Hitler victim, to work: but later decided against possible complications after an illuminating talk. To village: thunder & lightning. Played parchesi with L & Gelat. Won. Solomon spent day with Catalina, at her house. No more mosquito nets. Casita work began
