Transcript
  • Sunday May 22 Laura spent all day in bed resting. I looked after her & also spent a long time on a letter to Flower about L's poems. Montague & Dorothy to supper. Dorothy told us that on the 20th, the day to which a perfect stranger had pointed, giving her a charm, as a very lucky one, she had been pushed into the river at Blackfriars by a Lesbian but managed to catch at a chain & pull herself to safety. The charm in her handbag also escaped: the bag bounced off from a post. Then the woman tried to kill herself but Dorothy rescued her.
