            Today I told M of D’s intention to buy a boat and engine – he had told me a few days before.  Her reaction is to write to the Bank Manager at once reminding him that she is not responsible for the joint account overdraft.

            Walking back along the King’s Road I passed a little blond girl, perhaps eight years old – she had an extraordinary depth of expression and alertness in her eyes:  a compelling intelligence.  Her arm was atrophied, hanging loosely from her shoulder for a total length of about six inches or a little more, to a tiny hand.
