Jan 17 Monday.

Have only got as far as Ch. [Chapter]4 in going over Belisarius.
Sam for a walk across the Park & lunch. Saw Nancy for a moment.
Laura & I went with Catherine Vandervelde to Autumn at St. Martin's1 – Flora Robson and Muriel Aked – play crude & commonplace heroine awful – the producer's wife. Mrs. B.Deane. [RG]. M.A.2 was all right. Catherine was sweet & afterwards to the Cafe Royal – Laura wearing her tiger's teeth.
