'I have read Tom's [note]book. I had no right to perhaps, without telling him but he has read mine and I did. It gave me a real shock - perhaps because it so confirmed my own picture of what happened and which he so strenuously denied [...] Of course it is painful to me to read of all his natural, happy ecstasy over Frances, because it shows me so clearly what I have missed in him'

'The shock last night when Ian was cold and unenthusiastic about the first bit of the book which I'd managed to write. I burnt it. I... hoped he would stop me... He explained how tired he was and unreceptive... that there were good things and it was only too short-circuited. He was right too. I want to start again today but I am stuck... I wrote to please him and he wasn't pleased.'
