Notes and topics

"Tuesday morning" Playing host to newlyweds. Sturgess's virginity. She loves him most, he's sure, for his gift of purity. He couldn't marry again without feeling it all a mockery. One of the charms of their marriage will be that he can have intimate friendships with women without danger. Romeo and Juliette at opera. Miss Belloc. Her address to Y's [YWCA]: "So nice and dry, which is what I always love!" Carpenter on vacuous wives and clever husbands. "I think perhaps thee had better destroy the last two sheets of what I sent thee yesterday, but do as thee thinks right."
