'Then I called at Lucy Clifford?s. She showed me a short preface she has written to those stories of hers about "Worldly Women" wh. are coming out in a book. I found fault with a sentence about wh. we argued all the time I was there & consequently I had not time to speak about the book itself ? wh. was just as well. I am afraid that she will send it to me & that I will have to say something.'
