Notes and topics

"Tuesday evening". Dated by BR.

OM discusses Lamb: "... he is as if 'possessed' by some wicked spirit and is quite impossible." Philip was silent at dinner. OM felt sorry for him.

BR is "... far far ahead and richer and more wonderful..." than she. BR asked her if she is sad. She replies: "... sadness that comes from great solemnity...." "Yes my Bertie when I kiss you it is as if my whole soul came to you and touched yours."

BR mentioned his grandmother to her. OM says: "I wish I had a clearer memory of your grandmother. I remember her very dimly."

OM discusses [possibly in connection with Philip, as she mentions no name] jealousy and selfishness.
