Davies tells BR that he had an interview with Maw that evening, during which Maw said that no question would arise from the deed of gift of the furniture. "Among other things Maw said that the letter which I had written to him condemning Dora's letter about the clothes served the useful purpose that he was able to tell her that by reason of his having identified himself with her cause anything which she said or did was liable to be regarded as involving him, and that he could not continue to act for her unless she refrained from vindictiveness and recognized that Peter was entitled to take an interest in the children. There is a good deal more which I shall report."
