dislike of somebody. Apparently when whoever it is, says
something to me, I screw up my face & lean toard
& say "what was that", having heard perfectly well
the first time. Or did I do this before?
And so Amy has written to me twice! Nothing has
arrived yet, I do not think it will make very
much difference to me whether it does or not. Do you
remember that first letter she wrote to me, introducing
herself after meeting Vernon in Switzerland? What a
masterpiece that was - 8 pages of twitter. Any
normal person would have popped it down on one
or else telephoned. I can just imagine Vernon
working it out, & saying you get in touch with
Barbara & Harry Massey - , then when I come
home, I will come over, stay with them.
It must be pretty nauseating, though, to have all
this "you are my best friend" stuff pushed down
your throat. I sincerely hope you have not
taken her to Devon - I don't think you can
have, or it would have been in one of your pcs.
If Geoffrey Dawson has half the brain he thinks he
has, or Gordon credits him with having - Amy
will go the same way as Nora. And i wander
how soon Vernon will suggest another trip into
adultery? I seem to be getting rather unkind
& moral about poor old Vernon - but that episode
of his life has been rather foolish, sordid, boring
& generally not to his credit.
