[continued]

            After lunch in the Officer’s Mess at R(hodesian) A. F. Thornhill, we took the coach back – with C!  She has been here ever since, creating a wall of noise and driving everyone underground or away.  A is nearly desperate (C is in Rhodesia till Sept ?2nd, and again later); X goes away with friends as much as possible, which is a shame; U is quiet and good but (I suspect) not happy; and I am frustrated by this woman who shuts off my Rhodesian family with a flick of her jaw.  Her voice is an electric buzz; she has told the same story about O swimming three times yesterday, and about N’s baths twice (once when he was there).  Yesterday wasn’t too bad, but Sunday afternoon was dreadful; and the evening meal was depressing beyond belief.
