Notes and topics

"12.30 p.m." "Nobody up here reads the papers, so that still only the Society knows about us." Light [the engagement news] is thrown on his paper last term. Glad "they had chosen Mr. Bennet for me to write on, as Sidgwick and two other angels turned up, and the other subjects were too intimate to read about before an old man like Sidgwick." Moore. "People seemed on the whole to agree with what I said, and fortunately they laughed at all the things I had said were laughable (except the mole of the same species, which I left out)." [Apparently BR gave a paper to the Society. June 2 was a Saturday.] If he gets a star, a Fellowship is certain if he works; but he probably won't get a star. Lots of letters enclosed. [Not present.]
