Saturday, November 27th., Cadogan Square, London.
Two good days work. Very tired last evening and slept particularly well. In fact I was late getting up. Dorothy and I dined at home which was, for me, a welcome and pleasant change. Afterwards came in Eric Kennington and Mrs. ditto, Arthur Waley and Alec Shepeler.
Eric K. is very shy but he is a delightful man. He fought on the Western Front but was badly wounded and sent home in 1915. Eric brought Lawrence's £30 book "The Seven Pillars" to show me. he is the art editor. It is not very good book-making; very fine illustrations in it, many of them coloured, and lots of lovely drawings by Roberts. But most of the illustrations are thoroughly out of place in the book and spoil the look of it. It seems that Lawrence has kept Kennington and Roberts, not to mention Wadsworth, pretty busy on it for several years.
