Transcript
  • Sunday June 26th Smuggler Leonard & Margaret to lunch. Leonard in sailor costume & vernacular. We He & I played battles with paper darts & I taught him a paper folding trick I re-learned yesterday at Sam's school from a Colonel Wimperis. Tea at Dorothy Hutchinson's where Wanda's shriekings got on my nerves. To the Pearsons at 7A Ellerdale Road North Way3 to supper, where we met Ronald & Frances McCall, Montreal people, whom we found very good & who came around after & talked until nearly 2 o'clock. A new word arose 'Gradek' (from a German psychologist she believed in – or thought she still did) for something that nice people think nice from old old generous ignorance that really isn't.
