- Nov 14 Monday So warm that Alan & I worked without a fire. Dictionary , another great batch of Castle . David went to Paris. I polished all the furniture in my room. I now work in the Salon all the time. Made oat-cakes on galette griddle with Quaker Oats & butter. Walk with Beryl at 10.30 to post letters & get a drink at station hotel. Too late & no matches for cigarettes – only glow-worms – about a dozen of them in hedges. A goodstrain with bright fire-box & about 60 trucks. Conversation at dinner (Laura reads out a bit about Voortreker celebration in Transvaal. All men taking part must wear real beards, girls must not stain nails or smoke.) Self. Voortreker: shall we put that in the Dictionary ? Alan. Not a word I should use myself. Laura. The Boers themselves don't use it unless they grow beards first.
