A Story of War

A.and I have a drink with Jerry Philips in my favourite bar, the Mayfair, and then we have dinner with Bill and Daphne at Manetta’s, where I get a bit weary at 11.30 or so. We see Mary Churchill, who recognises A. with whom she was at school, and A. says “Yes, you are Mary – Mary?”

Next day we say farewell in the entrance to Marylebone underground in a flood of tears, and A. makes straight for the up escalator.
