Fine all though.
I left the good Phipps Hornbys at 10 ― a car to Petersfield. Rail to Guildford by 12. Wait till 1.30 ― rail to Reading at 2.30. Wait there till 3. Cheltenham by 6.40.
The Francillons are very kind: but I was worn out & sad.
Whether my “dentro” is injured or not I cannot decide ― but something is wrong & I must have advice.
Weather cold.
