My Dear Laddie,
Well - here I am again.
This morning we went to the B.P. Mr + Mrs B
and Mrs Green + myself. There was a thin
woman with an awful face, age uncertain
but tongue wagging in a very certain state
She was endeavouring to swim and could
make absolutely no progress. All the time she
was making these vain endeavours to swim
to was explaining to another woman how
it was done. Not half explaining - her mouth
was a veritable clipping machine. Her facial
expressions were works of art. Evelyn
had found her match.
Frank was telling about the sports
they had had at Chingford. Scores of
flash girls came up from London. One
in particular took their attention she
had an extremely short skirt and the
necessary flash boots - hat without brim
fur collar of white rabbit I should think
