Expresses gratitude to Beaton for his kindness in recording Fionn's wedding. The results have given them great joy. It was disastrous reading Beaton's book during post wedding exhaustion. Sympathises with Beaton's 'tormenting' holidays at seaside resorts. Enjoyed the book and wrote Evelyn a fierce letter requesting 'a candid account of his escape from his early environment'. He sent a postcard saying that he had neither eaten nor spoken since he saw the photograph of himself at Bron's wedding. Discusses Lady Astor. Can hear a hubbub from the communal garden and suspects the other children are stoning Beaton's godson and 'despite the provocation he gives' she must rescue him.
