'Saturday, 11th April, Mother is still rather poorly. Dad has been before the beaks ! Short weight. The unchanging Dad. Clean forgets to send the wagon over the weighing machine. He was stopped before he had sold anything. Hard lines on the good old family name. The joke would have been complete if mother had been on the bench. Read ? ?Figures in Modern Literature? (J. B. Priestley)'.
