11.6.10

Monday, March 12, 1945

Went to little Audrey Pewell at Selfridges and she was delighted as usual to do my hair. Took her a PX lipstick. She's a lovely child - under 17, mature, sensible - has dimples at the tops of her cheeks. Wants to marry an American, of course. Called John Green at BBC and made a tea date at the Berkeley. Went to the Savoy for a Scotch - it's lovely and simple in the American Bar, perfect taste, modern. It was lunch time, just a few in the bar. Wrote Johnny a letter from the Savoy. Went to lunch at a Turkish restaurant and ate great food (Soho). John Green took me to the Conservative Club on St. James St. for tea. We plan to go to Cambridge in a couple of weeks. No call from Jimmie until 9 when I was very worried. Joyous at seeing him, but he was terribly down because Geo. Pottsford, the timesmith, had thieved his new time in the Special Service Show. We went to our little Court Club and got mildly high on Scotches and back to the hotel. As evr and always we were divinely happy, and he threw a kiss through the window of the train at 5.30 AM. Jimmie is the "voice" on a documentary war film Garson Kanin is making also. Wanted a "tense voice" - he got it!
