Scope and content
Was sad not to see Beaton on the laryngitis evening. Discusses Paul Anstey. The Gielguds are entertaining John Perry and Hugh Wheeler. Finds Sir John a sweet character but 'only a stage personality'. Noel says he is moving to Tobago because he is persecuted with fans who drift into his garden. Peter has a devestating effect on him. Evelyn is arriving on Wednesday. Peter is 'shattered' at the thought of Evelyn's arrival. Dined with E. Molyneux in Montego. Gives news of various acquaintances. They are enjoying the pleasures of fish, humming birds and sunshine. The Gleaner newspaper had a blurred photograph of Elizabeth, Miss Peake and Princess Margaret on the way to Trinidad. Became fond of Michael Duff on the Q.M. but it was a grisly trip and she felt ill.
