Friday
Wet and foggy. Mother’s
birthday. No present this year. Went to Library again, and spent a good deal
of the day writing.
This evening went to see Diana’s
sister (Diana Davis, Stage Manager, Colchester Repertory Company), who lives up at Merchiston, and spent some time wandering in the dark
through a maze of Merchiston Avenues, Roads, Crescents and gardens. She is extraordinarily like Diana – very
pretty, and not more than about 20. Been
married 3 months. Talked about Scottish
prejudices etc. Stayed an hour, then
back to Bruntisfield to supper, very late.
Much talk about the Edinburgh
Corporation’s Schemes for building houses in the Parks and on the Links. This it seems is really true – amazing and
scandalous. Mrs Paterson says Mrs -, Councillor says it
is intended to destroy all Canongate.
