1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Has instructed Drummonds to pay this half-year's allowance of fifty pounds into Robert's account. He and Caroline are thinking about her and Julian. Curious that, though he has forgotten almost everything of his early life, he remembers clearly that his father, 'popularly believed... to be the busiest man in England' took a day to take him to school in Hertfordshire at the age of eight. Sure that Julian is much more likely to be happy; his school is 'the right kind of place'. Glad Elizabeth is going for an outing, and hopes she has good weather; it is bad in the north, which is serious for 'the enormous agricultural operation which has been forced on us by Government', though it is not the time to complain.
