Notes and topics

"9.30 a.m." Alys gets his letters two days later if he writes in morning. Walked through Quartier Latin (where he and Alys spent their time in spring). Present part of Paris associated with his first visit when he realized he hated Fitz and loved his sister. Dined with Phipps after two hours' work. Mrs. Harding. Racing. Frightfully conventional.

"I have come to the conclusion that I can get on with most women, but only with very few men." He'd love Logan to introduce him to Whistler. "Goodbye my Dearest, my life, my joy, my religion."
