"

My beloved - I got your darling letter just before dinner last night . . . It was only as lately as 5 on Friday that we parted, & I feel as if we had been separated for an age. . . . About Sanine I don’t quite know what to say. . . . Our party here is quite fairly successful . . .

Asquith reflects on separation, comments on the novel 'Sanine', and describes the party at Walmer.

Mentioned:Lady Guendolen Osborne • Raymond Asquith • Cyril Asquith • Lady Essex • Lady Kitty • Lancelot Smith • Edwin Montagu

"Spent the afternoon with L. G. Long talk on the liquor question. He asked me whether I thought the nation would accept total prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors during the war."

"I wonder if you’d like to let me have the motor tomorrow, if you did I would pick you up at a few minutes after 5 if you really felt you could face the Whitechaple road again."
