Spent all day on an island in the middle of the Sound with a lot of old gentlemen in towels returned very sunburned and in great pain now I know what Jeffery suffered when he embarked for England looking like a fire engine. Went to the first night of "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" with Alfred Lunt in which Barry Baxter made an enormous hit, he is now a brilliant light comedian.
Somehow he wished he didn't have one himself. "Want a good job, George?" he asked Lunt. "I have a good job." "This'll be a better one. Rank of major, eighteen thousand a year.
