Betty slept here
I had just finished an early lunch when Bet and Pont arrived from Studley armed with steak which they cooked in the kitchen. Bet and I have had a very pleasant tête à tête evening interrupted with telephoning.

Betty slept here
Taxied to the first of four additional meditation meetings in Lower Sloane St. It was taken by Miss Linds and was awfully nice.
Back in time for tea. Much colder and heavy rain in afternoon. Bet and Pont had been at Hendon, Pont playing golf - very well and glad of bath and tea before going off to pick up Alice for a play - Roar Like a Dove.

Great news in the post. Cosh has left Anne $100 and his solicitor has written to ask me for her name and address.
A sad account of Dick Pemberton from Daphne.
Wrote 4 letters to English maids and interviewed a fifth, but neith Betty nor I liked her, so we are no forrader!
Betty went down to Guildford and had lunch with Betty Ross of Ringshall days.

Bet and Pont slept here
Bet and Rudge went to 8 o'clock mass. Pont came over later and they all went to Richmond equipped with a picnic lunch to play golf, but the course was terribly crowded. Rudge went back to Beaumont via Richmond, and Bet and Pont came back here in time for tea.
