Scope and content
Has just watched Beaton on "Face to Face". Felt that he was 'superb, calm and enchantingly natural'. Does not like Mr Freeman's back. To 'face him for half an hour must be ghastly'. Beaton looked wonderful and she loved his hat. Beaton did well not to look foolish nor to say anything irritating. Asks Beaton to come and stay again very soon.
