Transcript
  • July 14th Thursday * After a visit to the Ripolls where there were also the Baker's daughter whose wedding reception we went to at Can Renau two years ago (and her new baby) we went out to La Chevrie – Just L and I. The Countess had hung it all with pictures & put about marvelous French-Breton ornaments, and furnished it splendidly with old-world splendour – but not aired the beds or lit fires or removed rat-dirt. We worked very hard indeed moving things about: first getting Laura's work room ready. Meal of cold chicken & bread & butter. Chopping wood, drawing water. Uncomfortable night with a bat about somewhere. But we like the house, & Maria Levrel came to help us & brought us cherries.
