Thursday 3rd November 1938

Lois went to night school; I went to the “flicks”. I knew she and her friends would go on to the Astoria Café later, for coffee. I saw the picture to the exact point I’d seen when I came in. A few steps from my seat into the café. Lois and her friends were just rising from their table, ready to leave! Beautifully synchronised, without any previous arrangement! (Although Lois said she somehow knew I’d come and meet her that particular night.)
