Notes and topics

"Tuesday night" Kept her up late 2 nights (perhaps writing). She's told sister Lion. Her taking advantage of his age! He needs solitude. Is a house for the homeless? Admired Friday's Hill. Maurice. "If I had been in his place I would have repeated the whole conversation word for word." Fountain (the man). Crompton and girls. "... all the disturbing distracting tumultuous elements of my love seem to have vanished and to have left a feeling of pure, calm, intense happiness...."
