- July 23 Saturday This was a very hard day. Our first English papers came. The menuisiers were busy all the time at Laura's cupboard, which they finished; the well-head; the lavatory roundels; a clothes hanger for Dorothy's room a door for our washroom. I super vised supervised and puttied up the cracks in my clothes cupboard & Laura's – all my clothes now put away. All sorts of jobs work with drawer-paper, curtains, minor carpentry jobs jobs. Laura working (with interruptions) on Aristotle. Some of the furniture came. Chief event was a rabbit cooked by Modeste with wine bay-leaves etc. Thundery weather. Getting Dorothy Simmonds' room ready. I started a not very effective poem on Tallness.
