The day before yesterday I dozed off (while reading one of [Canon][XQ]’s* books I think) but was awoken by an intense experience of deep male voices chanting behind me – the **Creed, I thought – but I – in reality – could not open my eyes, dreaming that therefore I could not read the Creed with them. In fact, of course, when after great struggle I did succeed in opening my eyes, the dream stopped. (On the Quiet Day*** I had been sitting with [XQ]* at the front of a church of booming clergy when I could not find my place in the Welsh service, and therefore missed out on the first 2/3[rds] or so of the Creed.)

Archishop [J], whom I met with yesterday – the third occasion**** on which I had spoken to [sic] him, but this time for an hour and a quarter – is a most excellent man.
