Sept 25 Sunday.

Knocking down walnuts from the tree – half a sack full.
Dictionary all day.
Situation better: general hardening of opinion against Germany everywhere. Czechs reported to have refused Hitler's terms.
Laura working on Aristotle for Lives of Wives, Harry's mathematics, Swiss Ghost, etc.
Cambeluk is a good game and does not repeat itself – always new situations.
Poor Anita rang up miserably.
