'Another lovely day: almost too hot to do anything. I've been depressed all day after reading Churchill's speech. It's a grim thought that in the event of an invasion the powers that be will continue the war from somewhere in the Empire. Then we shall have the joy of an enemy in our midst, and the RAF bombing us overhead.'

'On Sunday morning Blair and I left Hospital. We
drove to the McCormicks' Bungalow, and since then
I've been having a real slack time. I am reading
The Crisis by Winston Churchill. It is very
good indeed, though I like The Crossing still
better, that Anderson McKendrick read aloud to us at
Kasauli. A most interesting part of The
Crisis is what is written about the Germans. It
makes one think.'
