"Brit. Museum. Friday mg." "I had a very busy day yesterday—shopping and odds and ends in the morning, lunch with Miss Cumming to talk about the U.D.C. monthly which she is editing, then dentist, then Mrs. Eliot to tea, then Elizabeth, who is still full of hesitations about my brother. I don't know how she will decide. I saw all I could of the Zeppelin damage in the Strand and Aldwych. They missed all the buildings except the Belgian refugees place, which they wrecked. Several bombs made large holes in the street, and several fell in the empty space between Aldwych and the Strand. It is astonishing that they didn't hit more buildings. They just missed the Lyceum. There were huge crowds to see the damage, admiring the broken windows, of which there were very many. The crowds seemed to enjoy it. It was strange to think Germans had been up there in the sky."
