_My dear Guy,
_I settled up everything for you at Plashers Mead. Rather a jolly
place. I nearly took it on myself. I'm getting quite used to
settling up other people's affairs since you and Michael have made
me your executor. Good luck to you in Macedonia._
_Last night I went to the Orient Ballet and met a perfectly
delightful girl. If there is such a thing as love at first sight, I
am in love. Jenny Pearl she is called. Forgive this apparently
casual enthusiasm, but you two cynics will be able to tear me to
pieces to your satisfaction. I offer my heart for your bitter mirth
to embalm._
_Yours ever
