Weekend at Dr. F. Keeble's at Weybridge. He is an academic, to do with the plant world. Rather distinguished. Lillah McCarthy also there. Marguerite thinks that there is something going on between those two. Says she has intercepted 'significant' looks. Well, they do say that opposites attract.
In spite of my neuralgia we had a great weekend, full of good, and not too serious, conversation. I promised to write Lillah a play on the subject of the biblical Judith if a firm contract was made at once. I rather think she fancies herself in the title role, wrapped in various diaphanous draperies and enticing Holofernes to his destruction. In fact I constructed the play on the spot, after having read 'Judith' myself and having heard it read by Keeble. We had some difficulty in finding an 'Apocrypha'.I hope she is serious, though whether there is an audience for that sort of play I don't know. A lot may depend on how far Lillah is prepared to go in revealing her undoubted charms!
