Scope and content

Read Beaton's book in two sittings. Praises his book. Laughed a lot at the Chinese funeral. Feels that the 'Queen's conversation is a photograph in itself'. Discusses people in the book. Heard that Tarris had married Teddie Phillips. Asks about the play. Thought is was beautiful. Thought the play was interesting, 'obviously hopeless for the public', but the critics should have liked it. Duff is going to Bognor and she stays in Paris. Discusses her plans. Invites Beaton to visit.
