Scope and content
Hopes they can meet in Wiltshire from the 8th September onwards. Cyril's 'greed and grovelling snobbery' have repelled her. He arrived 'restless and distracted' and was disappointed not to see the Snowdens. A local tycoon invited her to dine with him and she organised that they should all go. Maurice Bowra stole the show by singing 1914 songs. Got the message that Beaton had telephoned. Cyril also pursued Dru Heinz hoping to go on his yacht.
