Nov 12 Tuesday
Registered passports with the Valldemossa
cabo1 at
the Alcaldia2. Then to Soller, lunch at the Costa Brava, waited about in café
while Gelat saw S
[Señor]3 de Sa Pedrissa's brother: S
[Señor] de P is withdrawing from the
junta. Another arreglo4 had been offered that G
[Gelat] should work his turbines how he
liked but not canalyze water.
Worked late on Lars Porsena, Laura on a poem. Talk about physical contacts as index of character.
Gelat's story about his ugly
black mule that once for a bet he trotted from Palma to Deya (27 kilometres) in
1 hr 20 minutes. 50,000 pes
[pesetas] in bets on it: no work at Valldemossa or Deya that day.
Mule did not sweat a hair
Worked late on Lars P.
