Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Read Betrand Russell all morning, wrote, ate apples—applied more work NCCL [National Council for Civil Liberties]. 2 o'clock met John [Rodker]. Walked to Dorking. Told each other classic stories. Tea & Home in evening, told our confessions with as few lies as possible ... Supper together, went over to Trevelyans ... Emma & peace. Then a policeman to see registration cards, especially John's. Mrs Trevelyan saved us all, engaging him in light conversation. Card given back without comment. More Emma to sooth our nerves. Tried to appear "calm and well-bred." Doubtful success. Walked home with him along the cypress road.'
