The rules according to Spinoza.

Bernard Linsky comments: "The party at Fuller's on Sunday the 10th must have  been the party that inspired 'Mr Apollinax' ( After all, Russell speaks of Eliot as 'lacking in the crude insistent passion' that is necessary, while Eliot was daydreaming about Mr Apollinax, who is described as having 'submarine and profound' laughter, things suggesting force of personality. Both Russell and Eliot sensed something about each other.) What I can add is that I have searched through the correspondence and, although there were regular dinners and lunches, this was the only garden party in the afternoon that I found." (26 May 2015)

BR mentions the possibility of meeting Donnelly in the summer on a trip down the Dalmatian Coast.
