Saturday, March 6th.
Went to the London Library and got some books for Sunday: Thaïs, by Anatole France, recommended to me by C.; a book called A Human Document, recommended me by Mrs Housman. I do not think I shall read any of them. The only literature I read without difficulty is The Times and Jane Eyre, and The Times doesn't come out on Sunday.
Sunday Night, March 7th.
Called on the Housmans in the afternoon. She was out. Luncheon at the Club. Dinner at the Club. I began A Human Document, but could not read more than five pages of it. I couldn't read any of the book by Anatole France.
Went to a concert in the afternoon. It was not enjoyable.
Read Jane Eyre.
Letter from Guy Cunninghame to Mrs Caryl
LONDON,
Monday, March 8th.
DEAREST ELSIE,
I meant to write you a long letter yesterday from the country. I went to stay with the Shamiers. I thought, of course, George would be there. He didn't come near the office on Friday. He wasn't there and evidently wasn't even expected.
