- Sept 27 Monday. Funny day. Hot & dull. 1) I had a letter from A.G. to whom Charles & Peggy had accused me of starving Jenny. I wrote to Jenny, ordering her to break with Charles unless he apologised & retracted, and to A.G. informing her of this. 2) Laura after a long break, looking very pale started work, but didn't get far. 3). Karl has been told by Marie that she doesn't like us enough for her to want to marry him: & given notice. 4) Alix had customs troubles over cheese. 5) Harry's tutored pupil flunked again. 6). Sweet letters from Lucie – Tom now Commissar of Culture for Time . 7) Solace was away 20 hours. 8) I twice hit the target, once with an Indian arrow. 9) Mr. Burt gave us heather wine. 10) Harry, Karl & I to Dorking: where by a ruse I got the Highcroft advertisement from Cubitt & West the agent which said 2 ¼ guineas not the 3 ¼ we have paid: & then to Down Scott & Down for legal advice. They said no action lay; but there was a further fraud about paying Mr. Burt in which we had right on our side. 11.) I did 14 pages of Belisarius chapter 11. 12) Talked to Laura (who has been busy straightening Karl out) about Seizin Company.
