Ap 14 Thursday.

With Laura to Knightsbridge to see Solace1: much better. But still Easter and own stomach bad. At Mr. Mills' bought 10 large Victorian tumblers. 10/-2; a silver brooch with a Republican denarius of Marius ×××× [indecipherable] Aquillius, 5/-; ram-earrings 1/63. an ivory-box "Margate trifle" 2/-
Sally gave Laura a string of pink quartz beads.
Marius Aquillius was the man who triumphed B.C. [Before Christ]100 over Sicilian slaves & whom[RG] Mithradates4 put to death with molten gold down throat.
Extracted a lot of historical notes for L. about Aristotle, Callisthenes, Xenocrates5.
Made two necklaces. one of blue & white striped beads: one of 3 colours of green beads and white Bristol.
