Scope and content
Discusses her European trip. Made it up with "The Family" before she left, but they are "so unrealistic, so unconstructive, so full of inadequate advices & staleness" that they make her very mad. Donna Juliet wrote to her about her Venetian adventures. Asks Beaton if he has anything for her to live "comfortably and nicely" in throughout the various events she is attending. Nightlife is a problem as "one suddenly finds oneself doing new things but not suitably dressed for it". She and Eleni both "went into a trance" over the sketch picture. Wants to build a Lord Byron museum in Missolonghi. The town is poor and flat; it is only the Hpwor which is romantic and full of character. Lucy is "doing something very pretty" to Beaton's circumcision hats.
