Scope and content
Beaton is the "Crown Prince of Hosts". Always realises this when they have an evening out together. What fun last Friday was. Beaton must write to her whenever he can. Feels banished here, in this Irish house with 99 dogs. The cold is incredible. Gave her first lecture to the aristocracy of Ulster "who all loathe literature and the arts".
