29 December 1919 – 31 December 1919

Calm day. In garden read early poems in Oxford Book. Discussed our future library. In the evening read Dostoevsky. In the morning discussed the importance of * eternal life.' Played our famous Stone Game (Cape Sixpence and Cornwall).

Long talk over house. Foster said I could walk. Sea sounded like an island sea. Happy. Lovely fire in my bedroom. Succes eclatant avec demon before dinner. Listened to Wingley's fiddle. The wooden bed.
