p.

have dinner in Chester with me - but, he had promised to go & see Miss Carrie James - in Hoylake when she was spending a few days in her married sister's flat - alone. The sister being in a nursing home, & the husband in London. He persuaded me to go with him, saying we should be back between 11-20 & 12-0. Having driven to Hoylake - Frank insisted upon going into Liverpool for dinner, so we went to the Crocodile, & I didn't even try to pay. Back again at Hoylake, I thought I would let him take the girl in shame, & so stayed in the car - and had to stay for 1 1/2 hours. And so back to bed at 2-20! And dso bloody tired I wanted to scream. The girl is really rather pretty, & quite pleasant, even if a little drunk She had a small cough
