With her habit of meddling with other people's affairs she has considered the pleasant coaching plan Irving spoke about the day before. It would be better if he took a day after he closed -the Monday or Tuesday would only keep him from the sea for one more day. If he had to choose Sunday she offers him and his friends her garden... and he could drive back by Hampstead or Alexandra Palace... |

She asks Irving to give a reading with her on the afternoon of Thursday 3rd July at 3.30pm - Romeo in the balcony scene, Shylock or Bassanio in the Trial scene. Revd Alfred Ainger has promised to do anything. She has no doubt she could get a few bishops but she has been laughed at for her clerical connections. Apologies for additional work for Irving. (Postscript:) She had given no reading since the previous February. |
