Wednesday 28th October 1936

John met me in Town – wearing dark glasses. “Remember the guy” said a mournful urchin in a parrot-like way. I searched for some brilliant satirical words but realised that my subject’s intellect was low. John begged his pardon and on the statement being twice repeated, I said “Oh yes, I haven’t forgotten it”. Luckily our bus arrived just then.

We called on Gwyn and Margaret, at Ada Lewis House. Amazing moment when we walked into the lounge. A small room, in which there were a score of unknown women and two men – ourselves.
