Notes and topics

Had "scene" with Granny; told her she'd been "unkind" to Alys—this word stung her like an adder. "The idea of blame from a younger person is so foreign to her mind that my words seemed like a combination of sacrilege and cruelty." [Excellent account.]

In Paris he had all his meals with Alys and stayed at Logan's and travelled home with Alys (all of which greatly shocked his people). Lachrimose method Granny's last resource. Socialistic future of marriage. A Shelley selection given to his Aunt [Agatha] by the man who loved her. "The whole story of her life is in her marks" [in the book]. [Lachrymose]
