Notes and topics

"Tuesday morning" Last night's restaurant, he's too fastidious. His "work varies from two to five hours, usually with intervals for talk...." "It consists of copying dispatches, varied occasionally by a telegram to cipher or decipher. It is not interesting, but passes the time...." Reading The Lady of Arrostock. Hates the French. Seeing Fitz again (they lodged together during last term at Southgate). The Good Samaritan incident (?). Did a lot of good work during his month at Friday's Hill. "I think I had better work at social questions and economics alone while we are in Germany" and chuck the Fellowship. Phillimore.
