March 24th Wednesday

Raining all day.
Went over 190 pp [pages] of Year of Damage with Laura.
Greville Diaries and George Sand's Gallerie des Femmes arrived.
Cut my hand at breakfast.
To Lugano to buy a lobster supper, in shells.
Went over points in Laura & Francisca & Voltaire with Laura.
Papers reflect crisis in Spain & moral shock everywhere at the Italian defeat.
Snow on hills, hoar-frost at night, lake rising.
