Monday 17th January 1938

Evening: Called at Pa Shervill’s and discussed guns and poetry. We mentioned nothing apropos of the previous conversation but I had received a letter from Pa which mentioned, casually: “I think it only right that you should know that last night, Lois told me she looked up to me as a father, so that’s that. I hope that there will still be a pleasant friendship…” He has courage, Pa. Gallantry!

Apropos of Nothing:-
Blast the winter! Damn and blast!
